Re: Fuel Mileage question??????

33s are somewhat taller and certainly wider than stock tires, and that hurts fuel mileage. Wider tires often run lower air pressure which also hurts. Something like a 235/85-16 is probably about the right height (depending on your OEM tire size) and skinnier, and can run higher pressure -- which helps increase fuel mileage.
