after a few weeks of driving, and pay attention to gas mileage, i can tell you that i lost about 5mpg, my average on my 5 Speed Sedan with the weather around 80degrees with flat roads here in GA is about 38mpg doing around 60% hwy with 80mph max and 40% cities 50mph max. Now 34mpg
My car is factory unlowered. |

That said, a wider and heavier set-up will hurt economy. How does the braking feel? I find that when going from my undersized winter boots back to the OEM alloys and stock sized Goodyears with there greater rotating weight requires much more brake pedal pressure. The car feels much heavier to stop.

Wow....I wouldn't think that you would lose that much for mpg just from the bump up. Just out of curiosity did you happen to weigh your stock wheel/tire and then also weigh your new wheel/tire to see the difference? I know that the manufacturers post weights, but I trust in person verification myself to be sure. MUSKOKA800 is right too that you might be driving different with better performing tires.
