might sound weird, but when I went from 255/60/15 to 255/55/17 RT rims and
tires, I noticed that I can't go over 20mpg on my overhead anymore. I used
to get 21 doing 60mph or less on the hiway, I can barely get 19.5. This
could be due to the difference in tire size has thrown off the calculations,
but I think the RT has the same overall diameter as the stock tires, 255/65
(mine were 255/60)
Dunno, could be wrong. I am sure there are others than can answer.
