Hello all. Would anyone with a 1958 and 275 70 R18 tires be willing to tell me what mpg you’re getting?

How's the road noise / comfort on the KO3s?
Those actually make me want to get them, instead of the stock street tires that I ordered, strictly for ride comfort. I will be curious on how they ride.

Not trying to start shit at all, but you’re not getting 23-27 with those. Even over inflated. I don’t care where you live. Must have reset that on a hill and it was a short trip or something. For example, Mine says 30 mpg right now because I reset it at 10’000 feet elevation and went back to 5,000. If I had reset just before going up there it would be 17 at the top. But cool truck! Just don’t want people to get there hopes up
Thanks for answering a question that I hadn’t found yet. “Is the trip computer for MPG resettable?” I guess it is.Not trying to start shit at all, but you’re not getting 23-27 with those.

Yes. If I remember correctly you long press ok, go to the left, scroll up or down if not already on the MPG screen, then long press ok on that screen until it says zero. You can also on the multimedia under trip information and it shows more information
Not at all. Adding more miles to the odometer the average is now 21. Most of the drive is city and idle tho. The car had only 110 miles at that timeNot trying to start shit at all, but you’re not getting 23-27 with those. Even over inflated. I don’t care where you live.

Can't un-see the tiger stripes on that third pic of the KO3... lol
I put Wildpeak 275s on mine at ~300 miles. The MPG was pretty bad before and after IMO. I have to work pretty hard and basically hypermile to get 23-24. My 20-mile round trip to work (a mix of highway speeds and stop/go) usually gets me just under 21 combined. The best I've seen for a 38-mile highway trip was 25mpg and it was a scenario where I probably never got over 55mph. Casually around town, I see a lot of 17-18mpg.
I bought into the idea of the vehicle when they said it was going to get 27mpg. I was already too emotionally invested when the official numbers slipped to 23mpg. I already have a secondary fun car (older 911) that gets terrible mileage, it sucks a bit that my new daily isn't very good either

23.5 mpg on a 250 mile trip, I have the KO3's also. The ride quality is flawless and the sound level is minimal!
Considering the same tire...curious what the both of you are averaging these days? How many total miles? Still impressed with the ride quality and sound level? Thanks!
Who has ko3s in stock for the 1958?
Discount tire and a few others don't have them.
I like to pick them up as well
