Putting and order through in August, please help with a few decisions...

First post...
I am not sure which way to go and wanted some guidance. Whatever model I get I plan to put on 1552 traverse wheels and Falken wildpeak trails (probably 245/65/17). I wanted to hear from those with both hybrid and ecoboost AWD 4k tow packages how milage changed with oversized tires. If the Hybrid will be impacted too much by the tires I will probably go ecoboost and get the awd and 4k package. Any help is appreciated!

I'm picking up my hybrid tomorrow......the purpose is fuel efficiency. Wouldn't new, bigger, BA tires hurt the mileage?

Yes, I am sure it will impact it some. I have the same wheel and tire setup on my Tiguan and saw about a 1 mpg drop. I like the setup though, it rides well, is 3 peak rated, and looks a little more agressive. I wanted to see if it would cause a different effect with a hybrid.
