yes for this question i will use my truck i have 29in tires on right now i get approx 10 mpg and i am going to put 35s on so right now my tire travel is 29in so i don't step into the peddle as much but when i put the 35s on it will b 35 in in travel its really hard to explain when your not in person hope this answered you question
I went from stock tires to 31 by 10.5 and lost about 4 mpg so I would expect at least 6-8 with 35
Yes. It will lower it due to the following two reasons. 1. Larger tires = more weight for the car to push. For every 200lbs of extra weight that your car has to move the mpg is reduced by 1. 2. Larger tires (unless the vehicle is lowered) will raise the height of the vehicle thereby decreasing aerodynamics. The vehicle will sit up higher and have less aerodynamics and increased drag. Making your engine work harder and reducing mpg.
No you do not. Bigger tires and wheels have nothing to do with it stopping.
Well - I have a 1984 gmc dually that is a big truck, and im only getting about 10 mpg. The way u can increase your gas milage is to get flow masters and then get your truck fuel injected, you can also try to gettting a bit bigger tires, in know what your thinking getting bigger tires will decrese your gas milage but really infact it will give about 2 more mpg,
Yes you can put bigger tires on your existing wheels up to a point. Talk to your local tire dealer and they can advise you on the biggest tires you can use.
Depending what size tire you have, for example the factory tires your looking at average of 23hwy/18city but you replace with over size tires for example 33x12.5R15 It's bigger/heavier tire which will drop your MPG about 15%-20%.
for traction
A bigger trans wouldn't change anything in fact it would weigh more and probably cause you to lose mpg. If the present trans doesn't have an overdrive, replacing it with one that does would increase mpg.
It lowers your mpg
My research has shown that if you don't add bigger wheels and tires the gas mileage will stay about the same. Maybe at worst you might lose 1/2 of a mpg.
ones bigger ones smaller
Yes.
