295s to 315s ????

I am thinking of changing to 315s from 295s, on factory wheels. Will I see much change in MPGs, and will I notice a difference in power. [img]images/icons/crazy.gif[/img] Does anyone know what the difference in LBS. of these tires would be. [img]graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]
Thanks in advance! [img]images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: 295s to 315s ????

Running 295's on your 7" factory wheels is pushing the limits as it is. Rinning 315's is going to far. The tire is not going to have the proper shape when inflated. That means it may not wear correctly and certainly won't handle a load properly.

BFG wants to see a minimum of a 7.5" wheel for the 295. For the 315 they want to see nothing smaller than 8". I can see running the 295 on the 7" wheel, but not the 315.
