I plan on getting a new hybrid f150 pretty soon. I plan on putting 295s on it. Anybody know how much it will affect the gas mileage? I know it averages 25 with the stock tires and rims. Didn’t know how much it would drop. Thanks

If you’re that concerned with MPG’s keep the stock tires.

I can’t ask a question? Just looking to see if anybody has done it.

Look up the specs of your OEM tires and your proposed ties and check out the revolutions per mile of each tire and compare. You will have your speedometer and odometer adjusted accordingly. You may find there's not much difference.

295 isn't a tire size, it is 1/3 of a tire size.

We can all make a guess, so I will. You are going to lose 4-5 mpg although I don't know what size tire you're installed. But the average is 4-5 if not more depending how tall you're going to go.

If you aren't changing height, then it could be very little. You won't have an accurate dash display either, so when you do install a larger tire, just switch away from MPG screen because it's going to be useless -in comparison to stock.


edit: I may need to say MPG is going to drop more. You could find yourself on gas engine more often in town, so a much greater use of gas is going to impact the overall as well.

Yes, but this question is asked 3 times a week.
Sometimes it's hard to take them serious. In the 2 hours it takes to post the question and wait for 32 answers and take an average, the OP could have already learned that.

You asked a question. I gave an answer. Maybe it’s not what you wanted to hear. Understandable. Still, MPG’s and larger tires / lifts don’t go hand and hand.

"If you have to ask, you can't afford it."

If you need the tires for the truck to do the work expected of it, to cross soft fields or such, then you just do it and pay whatever it costs to get the job done. Or if the cost is too much then you just don't do it and find some other solution.

If you mount the tires for vanity and appearance then once again if you keep a high maintenance woman then you have no basis to complain about the costs.

Beyond any argument on tire size, the construction and compound make a difference also. Does Ford use low rolling resistance tires on the hybrid? KM
