Re: haveing wider tires lose mpg?
Also possible they're under inflated, which means more friction, which means more work to move the car, which means more gas used, which means worst mileage :P. Check the pressure.~97 3.8L V6 Camaro~

Re: haveing wider tires lose mpg?
the tire pressure is fine i always check it :) so should i go back to my stock tire width? i was think of 235/50/16 in the front and 245/50/16 in the rear will this help or just 235/50/16 all round thanks again guys2000 camaro rs:whisperlid, 2.5 magnaflow exhaust, catco high flow cat, fast toys cai, 3.73, 160 power stat, msd 8.5 wires ngk iridium spark plugs, hpp3, zzp w/p and alt. under drive pullies, 1.9 Rockers/LS6 Springs with ls1 retainers
