A LOT!lol The good fuel economy makes it ideal for long trips. I have been doin research and measuring, trying to figure out which tire size I could upgrade to, because my old BFG K02s got some gnarly wear and I wanted to retire them(no wise cracks). Anyway, as you're probably already aware, tire shops and online search tools will keep you from seeing any tire size except stock (225/65/17, in my case). The stock sized BFG K02s before and was not really impressed with the long term wear and road noise. I also had to air down a lot for different terrain. They were durable and dependable as can be though. I can't knock 'em.SO!!!...I finally had my tire shop order a set of one the few companies that actually make a Load Range E in the size LT225/75/17, Cooper Discoverer AT3s. We did a fitment test and had miles of room. No rubbing anywhere! Even though this is a substantially larger than stock tire.Observations after a trip across the Southwestern USA Dune Country that I just got back from:- More quiet and smooth than my highway tires on the highway<img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😳" title="Flushed face    :flushed:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f633.png" data-shortname=":flushed:" /><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😳" title="Flushed face    :flushed:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f633.png" data-shortname=":flushed:" /><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😳" title="Flushed face    :flushed:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f633.png" data-shortname=":flushed:" />- Around an inch of extra ground clearance due to difference in tire height<img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😃" title="Grinning face with big eyes    :smiley:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f603.png" data-shortname=":smiley:" /><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😃" title="Grinning face with big eyes    :smiley:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f603.png" data-shortname=":smiley:" /><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😃" title="Grinning face with big eyes    :smiley:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f603.png" data-shortname=":smiley:" />- Works well in sand<img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="👍🏼" title="Thumbs up: medium-light skin tone    :thumbsup_tone2:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f44d-1f3fc.png" data-shortname=":thumbsup_tone2:" />- Never lost traction, ever, not once<img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="👍🏼" title="Thumbs up: medium-light skin tone    :thumbsup_tone2:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f44d-1f3fc.png" data-shortname=":thumbsup_tone2:" />- Speedometer surprisingly not affected much(1mph shy of gps under 40, 2mph shy of GPS under 65, and 3mph shy of GPS at 80)<img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😯" title="Hushed face    :hushed:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f62f.png" data-shortname=":hushed:" /><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="🙂" title="Slightly smiling face    :slight_smile:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" data-shortname=":slight_smile:" /><img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😁" title="Beaming face with smiling eyes    :grin:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f601.png" data-shortname=":grin:" />- MPG(I was having too much fun to calculate, but dash was displaying around 21mpg average, however at least 10-15% of the trip was sand and offroading, so...lol)...anyways, I will run some calcs and post actual numbers later.<img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="👍🏼" title="Thumbs up: medium-light skin tone    :thumbsup_tone2:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f44d-1f3fc.png" data-shortname=":thumbsup_tone2:" />- I did not air down because I never felt the need.
