I put 285 BFGs on 2004. I saw some info on this forum stating that I need to divide miles by gallons and then times by 1.7 to an accurate MPG. Is this correct and how was this equation reached.

Nominal diameter for the 245 is 30.4". The 285 is 33", therefore it is 1.085 times larger. Divide miles by gallons, then multiply by 1.085. Edited by: marcdeluca
