Default tire size vs. loss in mpgs
What should I expect to loose in MPG's switching from 235/75/15 to 245/75/16? Anyone have experience with this? I have a 2001 XJ, 3:55 rear axle, I was thinking maybe one mpg loss.

It shouldn't be bad. I think the big problem is the driver. your driving habits will effect it more.
