Wider won't do anything to your RPM's, just get a better grip on the road.

i'm running 235/75r15, but i will hopefully be changing those to a wider
tire. i just want to know the increase in RPM's that he experienced, so i
know what to look for. i'm scared that by doing this, i'll be raising the
RPM's so much that it'll kill my MPG, as well as my ears from the increased
exhaust on the highway.

Gabe & Tim, unless you're running the same size tires, your results
won't match exactly. You'll be off roughly 5-10 percent.
