    I hate to say but no! I run what the sidewall max is or higher. I however do not suggest that you run anything unsafe (disclaimer).

    Gas mileage drops as you add weight to the truck, too. Be sure you check the mileage through the same methods and routes if possible. Try 93 octane vs. 87 octane. Lowering the truck often helps the MPG due to less air under the chassis creating drag.
