I'm no where near new to automotive forums, but if people want ALL the info (which is fine by me), I have P215/60 sized tires. The BFGs I bought were P215/60R-16 94T BSW with a 620 treadwear rating, A traction rating, and B temp rating. The XLE is a V6.

i would expect the rolling resistance to be high, since they are marketed for their traction ability, but i didn't think it would be high enough for an 18% decrease in MPG!!
