remember that they are not correct mileage wise vs stock tires. the circumference of a 31" is more than that of the stock 225/75R15. was looking at my mileage and almost had a heart attack until i thought about the fact that 33s are 16% taller
How exactly do you compensate the larger tires on top your trip meter to get a more accurate idea of your mileage per tank. If that makes any sense.
Like, If im getting 300 kilometers on a tank with 32's, how many kilometers am I actually going?

so quick break down to work it out since people are asking
200 miles on your stock setting odo for a jeep that came stock with 225/75R15 (28.29") after installing 285/75R16 (32.83") and used 12 gallons
32.83*pi=103" for a full revolution
28.29*pi=88.83" for a full revolution
63360" in a mile
63360*200=12672000 inches in 200miles
12672000/88.83=142654 revolutions of the tire in 200 miles
142654*103=14693414" actual inches traveled by a 285/75
4693414/63360=232 miles traveled
232/12=19MPG

I will put your formula on a card and laminate it and put it in my visor for quick reference.

Killer, thanks for the formula. I like to keep track of my mileage and I wasn't sure how to do it with 31s bc they make the odometer show less miles than actually traveled which would destroy the gas mileage result using the standard formula. Am I right?
