Tires that Increase Gas Mileage!

Your tires have a decent effect on how much gas mileage your vehicle outputs. We break down the differences between each type of tire category and which tires are best if you are looking to get more fuel economy. Let us know what tires you are running and what kind of mileage you're getting.

I went from Nitto Exo Grappler 35x12.50/17 to a Nitto Terra Grappler G2 315/70/17. Legitimately got back 2 mpg. I wasnt using the Exo’s to their ability so I made the swap back to an AT. Combination of 9lb lighter per tire and less rolling resistance, 2mpg gain is a win for my daily driven Jeep.

I went from a UHP all-season category tire with soft rubber (40K mile tread warranty) in a 245/40R18 to an all-weather grand touring tire with hard rubber (70K) in 215/60R16 on my sedan and gained about 10% fuel economy. Tire selection absolutely matters for fuel consumption. My H3 gets about 14-15mpg on 315/75R16 muds. Put it on 265/75R16 SL highway tires and it will do ~20mpg.

The holy grail for most people who off road is a tire that is completely 100% interchangeable between the pavement, to the deep rocky mud. And when I say interchangeable, I mean little to no difference in gas mileage, performance both off road and on road, and at the same time super aggressive looking… Let’s do this tire engineers!

In overlanding practice. We love to have both sides of the scale, to have the best of both worlds.
We love to see more reviews on that matter: Fuel economy and decent off road performance

One of my Jeeps has the Goodyear Duratracs and the other has the BF Goodrich KO2s. Both are great tires (best of both worlds) but I prefer the Duratracs.

As much I am an American but a Land Rover Enthusiast stationed in the UK, I still enjoy watching Jeep 4x4 content.
Cheers! 🇺🇸🇬🇧

New Yokohama G018, you won’t be disappointed. All terrain with heavy lugs, three peak rated, and a similar pattern to big rig tires with more aggressive patterns. Amazing so far.

Loved my 285/65r18 Toyo AT2 xtreme. Over 60k miles. Mostly road but did take them through sand and mud. Slicked up pretty quick but overall a good choice.

Wind dræg. The midwestern vowel shift is strong with this one ☝️guessing Wisconsin. Great video.

I think most people don't realise that they really only spend 10% of time off-road, and when it is, it's fairly dry terrain. Yes the MT look sexy, but they'll burn your wallet all for nothing. Get a hybrid or AT. They are far better than they used to be.

thank you 🙏
I now understand crossover tires better👍

Replaced my OEM Terra Grapplers at 12k mi with Duratracs and my mpg increased approximately 1-2mpg. Stock size. Much better tire!

With 40+ years of driving and multiple tire changes, I am certain that those "dozens" of variables add up to far more of a factor then what tires you run - unless the change is a very drastic one - such as going from a 33" to a 28" and a 12" track to a more common stock 9" track. The way you drive makes much more of a difference if we just take a single variable.

I have 245/75r16 Goodyear fuel savers on my 2000 jeep wj 4.7 all wheel drive and it did really good on some muddy trails in the north ga mountains. I get 18-20 on the hwy and about 16 mixed.

In racing and fuel consumption squeeze clubs we also use the word rotating weight of tires. Put a 125 cc rear tire on a 250 cc dirt bike promotes helpful wheels pin. Street walkers like bicycle tire choices the same. $50. Kevlar bead takes a lot of aluminum cans.

Fuel savings. I want the look of rugged trerrain with the absolute best fuel mileage. 80% city/20%hwy.

Larger wheels you will roll further on the original ratio causing you to use more gas per gallon per revolution, . Say it turns 1.0 stock. And you have 1.5 upgrade yeah you used .5 more gas per revolution is idea . smaller wheel will under cut the gallons original ratio and you won't be in the right spot when you run out of gas cause you didn't roll as far as the original ratio. What we all need are Narrow tires less contact apparently saves gas better than adding small or large wheels. . You get what you get from the factory. You can only narrow the contact on any size tall or small wheel. That's it. And the tire matters also if you change it it all starts again ... And the weight issue the cars engine calculated the weight of the car itself without a driver to the gas mileage. So to save gas if you have a 205/55/16 get a 195/55/r16. Then you save gas. That's the only way. So take off the fat sitting tires waisting contact space not even being used..it's slowing down the car .you want to roll easy then do that only change the first number of the tire size. To a lower number.. I drive a stick 06 coupe Honda I get 45 on the high way and 40 in the city..I just wanted to see if I could make it roll easier when I skate around in it. Lower the rolling resistance. Meaning your cars computer gave you enough gas with the stock wheels to cover 30 miles. If you put a smaller wheel on the car the computer still gives you enough gas to get to the 30 mile flag and you fell short and didn't use the gas the ecu provided. Meaning you waisted the gas in the wrong idea not the car or the tire .if you have large wheels your ecu gives you enough gas to get to the 30 mile mark stock. If you go bigger than the original larger wheel than your original ratio per gallon will use more gas per turn. Say the computer calculates 1.0 a turn and you have 1.5 it gave you enough gas for 1.0 not 1.5 so you d fall short of the mark also.

I'm an All Terrain tire minded driver. 50/50

[stanwalls]

95% of my driving is on the hwy. However I want a tire that gets good mileage and doesn't pick up the little quarter inch stones. From my very long driveway . 2000'
Thx.

Love my Geolandars but i lost 2 whole ass mpgs and i rarely actually need MTs. Looking up the lightest ATs in my size for next time
