Check my signature. I track my fill-ups with Fuelly. 245/70’s with a 1” 4WheelParts lift.

Did you drive it any before the lift and tires? I would be interested in the MPG drop.

Two days into ownership I put on 245/65 Toyo Open Country’s. Then about a month and a half later I put on the larger 245/70’s. Then about two weeks after that I put on the 1” lift.

I have 245/70 17 with 1.25” level. On hybrid getting about 37mpg. Have them on since 30 miles. But based on what I see others get I think it’s about a 10-15% loss.

What are the height and width actual measurements of your tire? Do you feel the drive Characteristics of changed with these tires?

You can find the measurements online. It has changed a bit it’s a little harsher and maybe little more noisy but no by much and not enough that it bugs me.
