Q. Do bigger tires save gas?
For example, larger tires decrease your fuel economy because they are heavier, while smaller tires increase fuel efficiency. Bigger tires also have a higher rolling resistance than smaller tires which means they require more resistance and effort to get them rolling.
Q. Will bigger tires hurt my transmission?
Changing tire size doesn’t affect your transmission, but it does change your final drive ratio. The effect is the same as if you had changed your transmission. How much difference you have depends on how different the tires are compared to the stock tires. Larger tires will lower your final drive ratio.
Q. How far off is my odometer with bigger tires?
1/8” tread wear on a 36-inch tire reduces the circumference by 0.8 inches. Over the length of 1 mile, this adds up to 33.6 feet. After “actually” traveling 157 miles, the odometer will be “off” by 1 mile. It will read 158 miles.
Q. Are skinny tires better for mud?
It depends on how deep the mud is and the type of mud etc. If you CAN get to solid ground without sinking so far in you are doomed, a skinny tire is better. But if you can’t reach solid ground you want as wide as you can handle to sling more soup and stay on top.
