    Factory 275/55/R20’s on factory rims. No incentive to change or lift at this point. I’d like to go with a slightly taller tire when the time comes.
    I do trailer several different trailers at times.
    All other suspension components stock except I added a TRD rear sway bar.

    I believe I can go to 275/60/20’s without modification.
    Questions:
    How much difference in actual speedometer reading and actual speed can I expect, all other variables equal.
    How much change in the AWESOME fuel mileage I get can I expect.
    TIA

    There are calculators on line that let you enter the tire sizes and the tell you the differences at given speeds. If going bigger, I believe the speedo will read lower by 1-2 at 60 MPH (maybe more). The difference is not linear, at 30 MPH it may be less <1. I don't think it helps the fuel mileage, may adversely affect it. But on the bright side, you are putting less miles on your truck. You can also have the tire size corrected in your ECM so everything jives.

    I have 275/60/20 and my Speedo is dead nuts on. Verified with a few speedo apps. I haven’t noticed a change in MPGs yet. Only had them for about 500 miles.

    I went to 10ply for towing and lost 1 1/2 mpg. Last service (30k) i did the fuel system clean and gained .9 mpg back. B12 fuel system cleaner.
