Tread and MPG test

http://roadtraveler.net/tread-matters-tire-selection-and-fuel-economy/

Tread matters! How much do different tread designs, and to a lesser extent tread width, affect MPG? You might be surprised with some of the results. A detailed testing article just published on my blog at RoadTraveler dot net. Have a look, there is too much to post here.

That was outstanding!

Thank you very much Nathan.

Wow! A lot of great effort put into the tests.

Will you continue the tests as the tires wear? My Duratracs were fairly quiet when new and I rotate at no later than 5K miles. As tire noise goes up I see the MPGs go down. I also think that at the point the tires get fairly noisy they are not performing as well in demanding offroad situations. More than once I have considered having two sets of tires but I imagine the cost breakpoint can be calculated so as to contrast extra tires versus mileage lost/gasoline costs.

I will likely continue to run and measure wear on the ST MAXX, I much prefer that type of tread over a mudder or A/T.

Very nice article!

Thanks Ryan

That's a very detailed test and interesting read (I've always wondered about fuel impacts on a measured scale), well done Redline!
