Ordered new 6.0!

Yesterday was a good day! Black Lariet with parchment leather. Question on tire size. My dealer will switch out tires when it comes in. What size will give it the best look without being "over the top" for a daily driver. I don't want to loose performance or economy. They will recalibrate computer for me as well.
BTW-anybody looking for a real clean '01 with a 5.4?

The narrowest treaded tire with a low rolling resistance will always give the best milage. Any off road/combo tread designs will hurt milage. Higher, but not too high, air pressure will help with the rolling resistance. Check out some on the lot with different tire rim combos. Diameter is the key along with the width of the "tread" on the road. Some "bigger"(dia) ones are actually smaller(dia) because of their width. I kept the 235x85's just for that reason. RESISTANCE The choice is yours. Good Luck
