if your even considering 37's might as well not even worry about MPG. That's something your just gonna have to live with.

X10 to all the comments so far.. I don't see a lift on that truck so 37s WON"T happen. and without a LEVEL kit 35's WON"T happen either.

35's. 11+mpg with Volant CAI. IMO, once you go to 37's, it's time to re gear. I have stock 3.73 gears and it's ok with 35's, but I still get a lot of shifting in and out of overdrive on the highway. 37's would make it a lot worse. Also, the larger you go in tire size, the faster your brakes wear out, stress on diff, tranny, ect.

I assume a lift is also in your future (profile pic)

I know I've been planing on a bds lift for a while, depending on my tire size will decide if I get a 6" or 8"
