Tire trade in and possibly going back to stock rims
I currently have 275/70/18 BFG all terrains on my truck. They are E rated and are heavy, which means a major decrease in mpg (went from averaging 18 down to 13-14 on a good day). And while I'm not usually that guy who cares about mpg too much, times are getting hard and I'm sure the gas prices are hurting a lot of ur guys' pockets as well. I've been thinking about trading them in for a lighter tire. I've even thought of selling my wheels and going back to my 17" stockers. My question is: What is a fair price I should get for my tires if I trade them in on some new ones? If I go back to my stockers, ill most likely go with a 285/70/17, I think they're about the same size as I have now.

Keepin' the lights on!
I'll trade you some GY SRA's that have only 10k on them. I don't think you will see much of a mpg improvement by going with a 285/70/17. The stock tires in the stock size offer the best mpg possible. A very highway friendly tire will be your next best bet if you need a LT series tire.
