Just curious, but after adding larger tires is everyone recalibrating their odometer to accommodate for the larger tires and fewer rotations per mile..

Larger tires, higher mass to turn, and mechanical angles get sharper requiring more power to turn. Any and all of these items contribute to more fuel consumption.

Yea, most are reporting a 3-5 MPG Drop with lift kits and bigger tires.

I also have a 2003 2500 Ram with v10 in it and it was lifted 4" and as tough as it looked going down the road.. the handling and bounce in the truck was crazy.. granted it is an older truck.. I had the lifts taken off winter is coming and I need a more stable truck in the snow. as much as I would like to raise my new toy up.. I so love the ride it gives right now.. I like the feel of being in a luxury car.... but it is truck!!!!
