I've read of studies that suggest, when one is presented with knowledge that directly conflicts with solidly held beliefs, people generally lose the ability to reason. I think that might be what's happening here. from STingray1300's experience, he has never once ran into an situation where larger tires did not result in decreased fuel economy, so it makes it hard for him to imagine it could. then, presented with a theory on how it could, he's backed into a corner from his previous statements.... I've been there and I'm sure we all have. the link i posted shows that it is not always true that larger tires = increased rolling resistance... i'm sure it would be easy to find a dimensionally larger tire that weighs more than the stock tires. these together refute STingray1300's claims on why he believes that larger tires always = increased rolling resistance and decreased fuel economy.
