    say, here's a thought I had this morning
    I'm running at factory settings for the tires which I believe is 30, I'm certain it's low to try and improve the ride or to improve your off-road ability (guessing on that one)
    all you lucky dogs who are getting such great mileage, what PSI are you using in your tires?
    that would be an easy fix if everyone is running higher than stock, I realize the higher the pressure the better your mileage but also the more quickly it wears out the middle of your tire so I'd like to find a happy medium if everyone IS running increased pressures

    I ran about 38 on the way to moab, and got about 375 miles.

    I now run 35 on my 33"s because I don't like the way it handles with 40. I only drive 3 miles to work, and take my Scooter on most days.

    I fill up about once a month.

    Was that on your OEM 18's? Or the larger sized-tire you have?

    Sorry... that was on my 18's I haven't seen 250 since I've gotten my big wheels/tires. But I've also done city driving only, 3 miles at a time. I'm pretty sure with a good mix of highway city I'd be around 300. I'm at like 230 right now with 1/4 tank left, and that was with ~120 of highway. (and 38PSI)

    ok, BlackSambo wrote earlier that he does 39, you do 38
    Do you notice any increased tire wear?, I've had my Kumho's for about 10k I reckon and can't see much wear at all,
    I think I'll experiment going up to 35 at the next refill and see what kind of difference I get

    I generally run 38 in my Kumho's (265-60/18), and get in the mid-300's when my NOVA commute allows me to do the speed limit. I got 43,000 miles on my last set of Kumho's, and the fronts were worn smooth all the way across. I love to haul around corners, so wearing out the fronts is not surprising. (Yes, I do rotate the tires...occasionally.)
