TYres

hello Guys and Gals.

I have fitted colway ATS to the truck look good, but have noticed the fuel consumption has gone up, is this normal? or do i need to increase the tyre presure to say 36 PSI?

what were you running before? If you have gone from roads to ATs then fuel economy will suffer.

That would make sense, i was on Geolander 39's which are 80% road. I will just have to tell the wife to ease off the lead foot

Yep, Colways are a proper AT tread unlike some road-biased tyres which are labelled as AT`s. Good performance off-road though! The compound is quite soft so running at 36 is a good idea.
cheers,

Thanks Chris, I have inceased the pressure and there is less drag now which shold make a difference
