mileage meter and larger tires
Hi, I have just gone from 225/75R16 to 235/85R16 tires (with new wheels) Will this throw off the miles per gallon calculation of the scangaugeII?

Hi choochoo,
I was uncomfortable with the load rating on the 225 tires. I've gained 300 lbs per tire.
I was tired of the tail end dragging on the least little driveway--even though I had a roller installed to protect the hitch.
The wider tires have lower rolling resistance so mileage may improve slightly
The greater diameter will change the effective rear end ratio and again should slightly improve mileage.
Most of my driving is on the prairies and it is flat land.
