Ok regardless of mpg 40" tires are more financially beneficial.

Ok regardless of mpg 40" tires are more financially beneficial.

I did a little analysis on this, for that prior thread, and wanted to let every one know what I figured out from a real dollar and since analysis.

10000 miles per year, some basic numbers for fuel costs.

What we all have today on this forum:
Awesome 37-40" real man tires 10000/14mpg = 714 gallons @ $4/gal = $2856
Cool 33-35" tires 10000/16mpg = 625 gallons @ 4/gall = $2500

If gas prices go up we have to look at this:
Horrible small dainty factory tires 10000/21mpg = 476 gallons @5/gal = $2380

Small tires saves $556-$120 per year. That's great right?! I mean I would like $556 bucks!

But, we really have to look at this:

Cost of mount and rebalance, we have to put the small tires on, my shop it's free to put big tires on cause they are awesome, but they charge to put golf cart tires on; say $60-75?

Cost of loss sex appeal, lets face it chicks dig them big? What's the average cost of a divorce in the USA? Can ya blame her, would you stay married to you with small tires, ya I didn't think so.

Cost of ridicule at work when the boss looses confidence in you? That next promotion I'm sure is gona go to the guy with the Bronco now.

Cost of loosing interest in the out doors, lets face it stock tires can't even get to Starbucks.

Cost when you get fat and have health issues due to depression? We are here to help, you can still reach out. We can probably ask for a small tire section, think that would help folks cope?

In conclusion I think it's obvious you/we all should buy 40's, it makes since financially, for our emotional health and well they are awesome....

(even if totally impractical in 99% of our driving...)

I like the way you think.

I'd be in divorce court if I DID put 40" tires in my truck....... so it's outrageously expensive in money and emotional trauma and she'd probably take our little girl cat with her, there's another minus and a 40" tire won't fit up under the bed so I'd have to go back to just 4 matching wheels and tires, I'd have to buy a drop hitch to haul my trailer.
On the other hand, since I'd never see 6th, 7th or 8th gear again - there's a huge savings for transmission wear.

 

[Elff]

and just like shaving, or losing weight, 40's make your junk look bigger.
it's a scientific fact.

 

[SSinGA]

If you run 40s people throw money into to the bed of your Jeep...right?

 

[johnparjr]

That took a lot of thought to type that all out

That's great. Ok, now rationalize a 5" lift. I'll spring it on my "chick", I mean wife!

I was going to debate the OP, however the more shots I take, the more it makes a lot of sense.

 

[TheSolarWizard]

I don’t care but my diesel consistently returns 22 mpg on 39s and it’s been as high as 25 on mostly flat highways at 70mph


diesel and huge tires means I almost always find phone numbers, panties and cash in the bed ?

 

[Josh00333]

Soooo ya going 37" then Papa?

I'd be in divorce court if I DID put 40" tires in my truck....... so it's outrageously expensive in money and emotional trauma and she'd probably take our little girl cat with her, there's another minus and a 40" tire won't fit up under the bed so I'd have to go back to just 4 matching wheels and tires, I'd have to buy a drop hitch to haul my trailer.

When you tell her that you have 40 inchers. I don't think she will believe you.

[NotSo Bright White]

Now I feel 37’s are too small. I was wondering why nothing was thrown in my bed. Hell I haven’t even been ducked!
Serious note: Great Post! You made a lot of people smile if not laugh out loud!

 

[Blackjeepjk]

I’m not going to lie, the whole panties thing was fun at first but it’s getting out of hand!
Most of my friends in stock jeeps setting around and talking about all the ducks they’ve been getting since owning a Jeep and I show them what I have accumulated since putting the 40’s on in October. Oddly enough, I’m yet to receive my first duck.

 

[SnazzGlad]

I’ll buy the tires your selling lol.
