I think going TOO small on the tire is going to hurt gas mileage just as much with that 4.10.


With those wheels, you're going to rub pretty much no matter what. Even a 265/70/16 will rub at lockout at stpck height. That's the size we run on the Hoe with 4.10's and it barely gets 17mpg highway. I can get 16-17 on my 36's and 4.56's if i don't drive like...me.
Are you high? At basically stock height with 285/60-18 I don't rub. That's 31.5" tall tire. I had 285/75-16's and they BARELY rubbed on the very bottom of the plastic wheel well...so I cut a small notch out and like magic it didn't rub any more!
