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...)
you people restore my faith in humanity. Thank you for this thread lmao

Just so I have all my facts and talking points together when presenting this to the CFO, any of y’all running 5.13 gears and 40’s (3.6l)? How are the Highway manners?
