Tall Tires?
Yes. I can see how that might be helpful. I have a '98 E-150 Ford Econoline 4.6l auto with 3.55 rear.
I'm planning a few trips over the next 6 or 7 months. Mostly open road travel on the Interstate Hwy system. No towing involved.
I was thinking that if I put 32 or 33 inch tires on the rear rims it would be like having a lower rear end ratio. Maybe squeeze out a few more miles from my gallons. Does this sound feasable?
Thanks in advance,
Bill

31x10.5r 15 will fit your stock rims, and will stand 1 inch taller than a 235/75r15 , 32's may require a wider rim.
