I only took a slight hit to MPGs compared to the stock Geolanders on the 1958, primarily in "city" driving conditions. My full tank range went from ~368 to ~355 miles, per the vehicle's calculations, for what it's worth.

Wait, I would have thought an increase in mpg's. Stock size was 265/70/18 correct? If so, then what you now have is 1.1" smaller in diameter and .8" more narrow in width, which should correlate with better fuel consumption. Could the aggressive tread on KO3's be more of a factor on fuel consumption than tire size? I do believe the weight of the KO3s even though smaller, could be a tad more than stock. Perhaps this is the factor.
I guess I have no idea what you had on there (just used what I assume is stock for dimensions) or the weight of the stock tire.
Very interesting to me....
