P.S.
I should have noted that the engine works harder on highway climbs with the larger tires, and mileage suffers noticeably. But, on down hills, mileage has improved with the taller tire, for a net minimal real effect. When I drive down to Phoenix, I use less gas than I did before. But the return trip uses more than before, and I get home with the same amount left as I did with the stock tires.
