So, had the stock 265/75/16 on the truck, but moved up to the 275/70/18 which are damn near 2 inches taller. So did the calculations to see what the Revs/mile difference was.
637 vs 608.34 So I got out the SCT and looked at what could be done with it and set it too 610, because my other choice was 605 since it only seems to go in 5 count increments. Is that the only amount it can be adjusted by?
Seems I am getting worse mileage with the taller tires and I am assuming it's because of the mass of the tires. They weigh more, but I haven't had a chance to weigh each of them too see the difference.
So, I have a few questions and of course these are more personal opinions then anything, so here goes...
Should I change the tune so it is set to 605 Revs/mile?
The speedo is corrected with the tune correct?
Does this affect my gauge in the truck for Avg miles/gal?
Anyone else done this swap and what did your mileage do?
