I'm going to back up mike1220's comment on gas mileage. I just took two consecutive weekend road trips, one on the old tires and one on the new (which are the same size as yours). Averaged 20 mpg between both trips doing 70-75 the entire time.

Just drove 1100km (685 miles) today. Speeds between 62-80mph, but averaged around 75mph and over the trip I had 14.7L/100km or 16mpg.

All highway miles. The 4 extra mpg you're getting is major in my eyes, I'm pretty upset. Not to mention my truck has the dreaded vibration issue. Really wish I would have gone with Ford... I love the look of the GMC, best looking truck by far in my opinion, Not sure what to do...

The higher i go on the speed the worse my mileage is, obviously... BUT the speeds i was quoting were actual speeds rather than my speedometer read out. Unless your speedometer is corrected for the size difference it will be about 2mph lower than actual speed, so if you were going 75 on the speedo, thats really 77. Which at 78 with my old (stock) tires, i would average about 18 highway on the flat roads of west texas. With the new tires I am staying around 65-72 on the speedo (67-74 Actual speed) and it helps staying a little lower.

With the stock tires, i would go from 78 down to about 73-74 and my mpg would go from 18 (50 mile avg) to 20 pretty quick.

What kind of terrain are you in?

Nice! where all are you headed? Grand lake is very cool, we have a cabin up there. Great for fishing and boating in summer

440hsp · July 22, 2015

Looking at a more central location like keystone or something in the area. Looking at cabins, or condos, or whatever can handle 3 adults and 2 kids comfortably. We are moving there eventually but want to look around more to see of we like something better than Fort Collins or Loveland that we visited last year. We are going to garden of the gods, pikes peak, then visit lake granby. Also wanna go the the hot springs in glenwood springs too. So many options.

If you're going around the 15th, the Leadville 100 mountain bike race is that day.

So the Leadville area will be VERY crowded (a few thousand visitors) for about that whole week before and that weekend. Just FYI.

Yes there are a ton of options. But sounds like a great trip! I live just south of Denver and run up to the mountains quite a bit so if you want more info or anything PM and would love to help you out.

Thanks, terrain is mountainous so I'm sure that doesn't help. On my trip though there were long stretches of sea level flat driving.

Here's a couple of pics after I Vinyl Wrapped the Bowties and added Tail Light and Tail Gate Covers..

What head light and fog light kit did you use? I converted my headlights over to sylvania ultras but they don't make fog lights in bulbs that fit unfortunately :/

So now I need to go another route.

I have been ordering from ddmtuning for almost 10 years now. I have had problems in the past but it is all lifetime warranty so everything has always been resolved. H11 5000k hid for the harness and I had to get the relays (still being delivered) and 5202 5000k hid for the fogs. the fogs are $10 more but totally worth every penny. Bright as hell without hid headlights. To some people they are too bright, but that's why my name is BrightWhite.

Tyrich, that's funny because I have been trying to find a cabin for rent or condo or whatever on vrbo. It's been rough trying to find one for me and the family. But I will try and keep an eye out on leadville. Thanks for the heads up. Probably gonna take highway70 to highway 9, and then take 24 into Colorado Springs to do the stuff there. I'm sure the sights on the way there will be awesome!!
