How dramatic do we think this change would be in terms of highway gearing, climbing hills at speed, and gas mileage? Assuming the same wheel and no other changes whatsoever.

Very dramatic

The Dueler Revos were 28570r17 and the Goodyear MTRs were 33x10.5s and I could still 18 to 20 fairly reliable.

I run yoko g003 285-75r17s on oem steelies. I am about 93 lbs a corner. They are 34.1 an e load range and I run them in the lower to mid 30s for psi.

I just cleared an exhaust obstruction. Before that if I babied jt I got 17 under 70 nph with no head winds. Any assertive acceleration or cruising over 75 and it drops to 14-15.

It is a beast offroad though. If you wheel its 100% worth it.

I keep all the twin locked Jeeps in my group honest.

I plan on going with either 35x11.5s or 255/85r17 Baja Boss ATs next.

How dramatically worse on-road?

Reality is my GX doesn't get driven all that much, and the main use is still on-road. It gets off-road anywhere from 5-10x/year depending on the year and any of those trips involves a bunch of highway travel to get there. I'd love to run 35"s for the clearance but not if the cost to do so is making the time on tarmac miserable.

With betterr brake pads rotors and fluid its merely NVH. I can corner quite well with my G003s.

Fuel economy sucks unless you are very energy aware. Whenever my partner drives it, they get into the throttle every stop light and the fuel economy plummets. I try to minimize acceleration intensity, minimize speed changes and drift and coast to stop.lights and stop signs where I dont negatively impact traffic flow. Most of my commute is jn the boonies with zero traffic.
