gas mileage w/ a 35"
What is everyone getting for gas mileage with a 35" tire on their H3. I am considering going with this size but would like to know bad my mileage will be. I know the tire is larger so you are covering more ground, but you are also rotating more weight, height and width. I would like to know before I make a mistake either way, with the same 285 or a new 35".

Re: gas mileage w/ a 35"
Hi Gibby. You will notice mpg go down with 35"s.Mine dropped 2to 3 mpg.
BUT, level the truck out, put 35"s on, stand back, and admire.
I did it to mine, and it looks a totally differant truck. watch all the other H3 owners stare in disbelief how good your truck looks. If you have the adv package as well, four wheeling becomes really really good. (Still miss the front locker though). Have fun...

I appreciate that, I have seen the difference in the look of an H3 with 35's and it is amazing. I drive more than the average person though and I do have to take into consideration due to the fact that we pay $2.00 / Gal. |

Re: gas mileage w/ a 35"
dont forget, less revolutions means less mpg shown via speedo, even though you are physically traveling the same distance. it will appear your mpg will be worse than what it actually is..
