Actually its a noticable difference. Going from 19-20 mpg to 15-16 mpg is pretty big

 

what was the difference in tire size and tread patterns? Outside conditions such as air temp or elevation changes? Driving habit? That significant of a drop shouldn't come just from changing a 20" rim to a 18" rim. I have 20s on mine and with all I have in my truck I still get 18-20MPG as long as its 60+ degrees outside

Man that's what I was thinking. It shouldn't be that big of a difference. I just got my truck back from dealership and told them to look at the drop in mileage. They told me it had to be the rims and tires. Said they prolly weighed 80lbs combined. I had the exact same truck (with stock 18's) for a rental while they were working on it and it got high 19mpg. Who knows ha

Yea it's hard to understand that one. On my '10 Silverado I went from 17's to 22's with no noticeable difference and went from 20's to 22's on my '14 with no difference as well.

2.5 Rough Country Lift with stock 1" rear blocks. Still trying to decide what brand and size tires I want to go with. I want to get all terrains because of the amount of highway miles I drive. Any body have any suggestions on a brand and size?? The stock tires are 265/65/R18.

Have you tried searching? That will answer your question...

20-18 shouldn't be a drop but a small increase as a 18" rim is lighter than a 20 in most cases. But if you go larger tires, more aggressive or a large load range such as an E, then they will for sure decrease from the 20's with a street oriented stock tire.

depends on what size you want and price. I am sure you already got tires but if not Toyos are expensive but they have a all terrain tire with a 60-65 thousand mile warranty and they don't look bad either. If you were looking for rugged /dependable I hear great things about the duratracs. However toyo is also putting out a tire that is somewhere between all terrain and mud tire that sounds pretty awesome. However if your going with a medium size and want a long lasting good tire. I would go with firestones AT tire. I had them on my Tahoe, and I sold it to my parents and the tires still look great that was four years ago and a lot of miles. I also had them on my 2004 Silverado and they looked brand new when I traded it in two years later. I went with bigger mud tires this time and will probly go with the toyos next time for sure. I have nitto trail grapplers and love they looks and they are not nearly as loud as most mud terrain tires.

 

I also have 295 70 r18 and they fit snug. with minor rub at full crank. Nothing I would trim out. and slight rub in the rear when 4x4ing hard.

Thanks for the input travalan21! I really wanted to go with the 295/70/18s but wasn't sure about the rubbing, now I know. What kind of gas mileage do you get? Also, you have a 2.5" lift?

I just found your post on page 85. Truck looks great. Can you post more pics of it? Really curious about the gas mileage difference between my stock tires and the 295/70/18. Not gonna stop me from putting them on or anything, just curious.
