I removed the factory 9 1/2" wide wheels with a set of tires that I had lost favor with. The factory tires only has 15K on them but were not giving the performance I wanted. I put a set of Mitchelin's on the wheels. Total cost was $500 for the powder costing and $400 for the tires and wheels that were take off's at my buddies car lot. Well, I had been experiencing milage in the range of 12 mpg city and 17 mpg highway with the factory 9 1/2s. Yesterday my son drove it 213 miles highway. I filled the tank this morning with 9.5 gallons. That is 22 mpg and I am amazed.  | |
