I'm thinking about 255 or so but just seeing what others say. the 285's are just too big for the little 3.0 w/ 4speed tranny. around town or on highway goin 60. thanks for any help.

I'm running 35's on mine and I was getting about 190 on a full tank. I bought the Superchip Cortex for about $400 and set it to performance mode, now I have a lot more power and I get 230-235 miles on a tank of gas. The tunner was well worth it, it reads and resets codes also.
