Tire rolling resistance (copied from another forum). My own thought on Tire rolling resistance comes from talking to others, and from dealing with my own truck. My own conclusions are that Tire rolling resistance is VERY important on trucks that carry heavy freight, but trucks that carry light weight freight, rolling resistance has little to no measurable effect on fuel mileage. As well, the faster or slower you go down the freeway, the more or less effect it will have too. The slower you drive, the less tire rolling resistance comes into play as well. Also, how much air pressure you have in your tires plays a huge roll in how effective a low-rolling resistive tire actually is. I inflate my own tires to a full 120 psi to get the most out of this, and have never had an issue with doing this. My own opinion is that rolling resistance, its importance, and how much it effects your fuel costs is really based on several factors. The biggest being how fast you drive, and how heavy your truck is most of the time. I use the lowest rolling resistance tires I can get, because I am usually heavy due to reefer freight, but I do not drive fast. I stay around 57-60 mph, but even so, low rolling resistance helps me save enough fuel to justify the extra costs of these types of tires. If I were only pulling light freight, it probably would not matter much, and just about any tire would work fine. Also, the lower the tread a tire has, the more efficient it becomes. This means that if your pulling heavy freight all the time, it is better to have worn down tires than new ones if you want to save fuel. --- I wanted to put this here for others on this site. I copied it from another forum, nothing more... This is the rolling resistance chart of several brands of tires AS lifted from another forum out there.
