Not to jack your thread but what is everyone getting on average? I just got mine and got around 13 on the highway with cruise at 80.

They would have to be awfully light. I would not trust them. Try spinning as fast as you can like a little kid with your arms out, maybe with something heavy in them. While spinning, bring your arms in, see how much easier and faster you can spin. This is an excellent demonstration of the added difficulty of turning larger wheels and tires.
