It will to a limited degree, but so will the road surface, the air pressure in the tire, your driving style and the weather - -

Does tire pressure affect mpg?
Yes it does. At optimum pressure you get better mpg
Does a smaller tire size on an s10 effect mpg?
Yes
Can tires make a difference in mpg?
Yes they can in regard to size, tread pattern and inflation pressure.
What is estimated mpg for 7.3 liter diesel?
depending on tire size and gear ratio in axle 15-19 mpg
How car tire affected you?
A tire can effect your gas mileage by a lot. If you do not have a inflated tire you can get 2-3 mpg less than use usually get.
What could happen if tire pressure is lower than supposed to be?
You can lose MPG or have a blowout or flat.
What is the difference in mpg on a freightliner mid roof and a high rise sleeper?
With the cab fairing up top on the midroof, the aerodynamics should match, and there'll no MPG difference.
If you put bigger but lighter wheels on a car does it change your MPG?
The lighter wouldn't make an difference but taller would a little but it will also make speedo read wrong
What is the difference between mpeg and mpg?
mpeg is a file type for a picture on a computer and mpg stands for miles per gallon.
What is the proper tire pressure for a 1991 Honda Civic?
It depends on a lot of things... Sometimes, there is a sticker on the inside of the driver's door (when you open the door, it should be near the latch)... This will give you a front and back pressure recommendation. A good rule of thumb is 35 PSI. I used to work in a tire shop and we filled everything to 35 PSI unless the customer had a large truck with 8 ply tires (don't worry, you don't have this on your Civic) or unless they asked for us to put in a different amount of air. Anywhere between 25 and 40 and you are safe. Less equals better traction, but lower MPG. The higher the PSI the less traction, but you'll get higher MPG... I'm not sure that it makes too much difference... I would think 1-2 mpg difference between 25 and 40. I'm also not sure the difference in traction would be noticeable. Also, be sure to to over inflate the tire (+50 psi) or under inflate the tire (less than 20 PSI)... These pressures are too extreme and can cause the tire to wear improperly.
If you increase tire height and width will gas mileage measure the same because there has been approx 30 less mpg than before?
A larger overall tire height (not just RIM diameter) will lower the RPM needed to maintain a speed, so it will improve your gas mileage. It will however make your speedometer and odometer read incorrectly, so those will have to be adjusted (this usually requires changing a small gear on the transmission).Wider tires will reduce your gas mileage, because the added width adds friction between the tire & the road. Good for handling, bad for mileage.Going up in rim size (like say from 15" to 17") will reduce MPG because the larger rims will be heavier, and will move the weight further out from the hub. Also lower-profile tires have to be built heftier to compensate for their shorter sidewall which adds weight out near to the edge of the tire. Rotational weight (tires, rims, brakes rotors, etc.) count for approximately four times as much weight as vehicle weight. So adding 10 pounds on the wheels, is like adding 40 pounds in the car, and added weight reduces MPG.
What is the mpg of a 2000 ford f250 xtra cab?
my f250 ex cab gets 17 mpg around the city.and averages 20 mpg on a highway trip this vehicle also is a 6 speed mauel not automatic diff ratios will make a difference in your milage as well so you may or may not get same
