I would go with an MT that is less agressive and has a more even tread pattern. This way you get a decent ride and still have a pretty capable tire. Something like the Hankooks I have or the Firestone Dest. M/T, or the Nitto Trail Grappler M/T. These are a bit quieter than something like a KM2 (which I love) or some others.
Not quite relavant to the last post but....
Earlier in the thread the topic of different size tires make a difference on the calculation of MPG. Just wondering if this is a proper way to calculate the difference.
The original tires did 682.75 revs/mile.
My Tires do 638.1 revs/mile.
My current MPG on the dash reads 15.1.
15.1 x 682,75 (what size tire the Computer thinks I have) = 10309.525 (Total revs for 15.1 miles the computer counts)
Now divide this by what I actually have : 10309.525 / 631.1 revs per mile = 16.15 MPG.
Does this sound like the correct procedure to the the Mathmatically inclined? I guess I could express it as a ratio as well which would be 682.75 / 638.1 = 1.069. I can use this number multiplied by MPG to get the correct reading I think.
I have the 4.7L Flex and a lift. Does this sound right for what I have?
The 16.15 is city driving in Houston. I get about 17.7(dash readout) which would be 18.5-19ish, according to the math, on the HWY. (Staying right on the speed limit.)
