Hi all,
Want a few opinions on this matter. I recently switched from the crappy factory Goodyears to Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo. I do meticulous mantenance on my Jeep and I noticed a 2-4 mpg drop recently. Whereas I used to get about 20-22 highway I now notice I get only about as high as 18. My theory is that the rolling resistance is higher on these tires as I have even had a complete tune up just 2 weeks ago. I have a 4.0 with an automatic. I understand that that I have been using the 4wd recently and that will definitely drop mpg--but the numbers I see are from using just 2wd in daily use--mostly highway. Any and all input will be appreciated--Thanks
