remember that you're probably traveling farther than what your odometer says because of a larger diameter rim.

are your new tires outside diamater - larger than your stocks ?
if so then....

your computer is reading 1.3 ish miles as 1 mile.

think like this :

your stock tire = letts say 500 rotations to make a mile.

your new tire = 450 rotations to make a mile since its larger in diamater.

your computer of the car is reading how manny times the tire or drive shaft turns to equil a mile so its off now if you have switched sizes.

plus - for added stress - if you new wheel + tire size is larger than before - your final drive ratio at the wheels is off. so it is now much harder on your ****** and engine to go from stoped to what ever mph. you have effectivly added "highway gears" to your rear end

with the larger tire. this requires more power to start off from a stop, so there is your gas milage down the tubes. on the highway tho, it shouldnt matter much at all.

thanks fo replying with some info instead of being of Fawkin Cawk like the rest of u idiots.

and i could be off some with the system amounts.

box and sub weigh almost 300

3 kinetic 2000 and battcap 200 almost 300

amps 50

wiring 15

all door speakers 20

and last but not least my deck weighs more than yours

so around 700 NOT 1000 sorry about that fegs...
