How are you getting better fuel economy? That seems to defy physics... Larger contact area yields more friction, thus more rolling resistance(i.e. Traction). If your logic were true Toyota would be putting 255's on Prius's...

I love mine. I have over 40k miles on my front RE11 285/35/19 and they are half gone. The rears only last me 20-24k miles. But that is all Interstate driving. Very easy on the tires.

Interesting to know didn't think that large front tire would work properly when doing sharp turns. One thing "The more rubber you have contacting the road" size doesn't affect contact patch, weight and psi does.

what???? context? a 245 has a smaller contact patch than a 285 tire it is a overall larger surface area.

Yes the amount of weight and air affects how much the tire will touch the road. but all things being equal, a 285 is wider surface area.

note- -sorry for bumping old post

What alignment settings is everybody running with these meaty tires? How bad is the understeer ?
