Increased drag with wider tires

However I think going from say a 285 to a 305 in terms of rolling resistance probably works out to about the same drag as adding an aftermarket spointer or spats to the car.

I doubt you would be able to take before and after mpg readings with any sort of reliability.


As far as the power steering, you might notice a bit more resistance, however with my setup I didnt notice much at all personally. If one was worried about it they could add another PS cooler.

When my current stock tires go down I may change to 295 at the back.

Either way I appreciate your comments, thank you. ;-)

Just don't camber it out and we can stay friends. haha
