TJ Fuel Consumption 31 inch tires?
 

Just bought a 1998 TJ with new 31 inch Goodrich tires. I think these larger
then normal tires are screwing with the gas mileage and the handling at hwy
speeds. Since they are new I think I trade them for original tres. Do you
folks think that will make a difference.

Re: TJ Fuel Consumption 31 inch tires?
 

You didn't really buy a Jeep for fuel economy or highway handling did you?
I hope not.

And if the handling is truly bad, the previous owner probably screwed
something up on the suspension or alignment. TJs handle pretty good on the
highway. Not like a sportscar but not bad either. Going from 31", which is
what the Rubicon comes with anyway, to 30" is not going to make much
difference at all.

Re: TJ Fuel Consumption 31 inch tires?
 

31" is stock for Rubicons, 30" is a factory optional and very common stock
tire size for TJs, not sure about the smallest tire size available on
base-level Jeeps.

Re: TJ Fuel Consumption 31 inch tires?
 

I think we have reached a milestone here. Someone actually thinking of
going to a *smaller* tire. :)

Seriously though, I run 31's, had 30's stock with the optional
tire/wheel package. Don't notice any difference in mileage or
handling, except for a slightly reduced turning radius (had to adjust
the steering stops). You might want to have your alignment checked if
you think you have substandard tracking at hwy speeds, but I doubt
it's the tires.

Re: TJ Fuel Consumption 31 inch tires?
 

Smallest size on base TJ's is 215 x 75 x 15.

I would recommend leaving the 31's on, and if you think the handling is bad,
then have the wheel alignment checked and have the tires balanced. I have
31's on a stock '02 Tj and the handling is PERFECT.

Re: TJ Fuel Consumption 31 inch tires?
 

Smallest size on base TJ's is 215 x 75 x 15.

I would recommend leaving the 31's on, and if you think the handling is bad,
then have the wheel alignment checked and have the tires balanced. I have
31's on a stock '02 Tj and the handling is PERFECT.

Re: TJ Fuel Consumption 31 inch tires?
 

I recently upgraded from 30" to 31" tires and didn't notice a decrease in
handling or gas mileage. Gas mileage on a TJ is horrible anyway (I get
around 15) and it doesn't handle like a Porsche, but it shouldn't handle
terribly either. I'd say something else is wrong beside the tire size.

actually your larger tire size is screwing with your spedometer and

215 x 75 x 15....metric right....??

I grew up with metric but since the bro's and dad used standard....that's
easier for me to use!....

So how does it break down again?
