Ok I am running 33's on my 73. It has a stock 302 and an automatic trans. It seems to run just fine. I went 225 miles on Saturday at Freeway speeds 65-70 mph and did about 3 hours of very mild wheeling in the desert.
I have not done a gear change and honstly at hwy speed it does not seem to need the gear change. although I might like to do a transfer case gear reduction at some point for wheeling.
I got exactly 9 mpg. Is that about as good as it gets? Can I do anything besides going to smaller tires (NOT!;D ) to get an added 2-3 mpg?
Thanks for any input
