If you're loading to the max and/or hauling heavy, lower rpms with bigger tires does not always equate to better mileage.

I need performance in tires over longevity, so I run the Revos and they DO perform. Very well made, low weights needed to balance, they’re a 50k mile tire and I guess that's about right but, I don't run the tread down like most people. I can't gamble in the traffic conditions that we must travel here.
