Damn...I was going to guess 36.4. Pretty close though.


Does over inflating your tires really do anything other than wear down the center tread faster?

yep, it wears the tires down slightly faster, but it also lowers the surface area and thus the rolling resistance all of which equals better gas mileage.


I ran them the last couple of weeks at 32psi... and I never got better than 31mpg

RE: Doing A Mileage Challenge Today
Hmm, makes sense I suppose.

*Goes out to inflate his Jeep tires to 75 psi*

I kid, I kid...but then again maybe it would help me break that 16mpg barrier.

Than again, so would replacing the big beefy All-Terrains with some street tires. idk

My Jeep really doesn't vary much in fuel economy. In the winter it gets around 13 and the summer around 15. I've tried it with my BFG All-Terrains and my winter tires...which are still A/Ts but not as beefy. No noticeable difference. Same with highway vs. city...it doesn't matter, either way it just sucks.
