For tires, in the summer I run Micheline LTX's- 275/70/-16. I'm geting an hones 19.5MPG hwy, about 18 mixed. It's a pricy tire, I'll be the first to admit- but the construction, the stiff carcass allows you to drive the truck like a sports car. I got some knock off AT's for winter duty and they fold under at every turn seemingly. But more than anything has been the tune for MPG, I can attest, and the ruck is even fun to drive...............

I have seen right under 24 mpg (winter months) and about 22-23 on highway trips with a 285/50/20. Minor mods all with windows up and A/C for the most part.
