Skinny tires
Unfortunately, fuel keeps going up in price so in order to save fuel, how skinny can I go? I've been specifically looking at 215/85/16 load range E tires. These tires have a weight rating of 2680 lbs. Any experiences with these types of tires on a truck with a heavy front end?

My motor is already turning plenty slow. I've got a Gear Vendors overdrive and currently, the engine turns over at 1320 rpm's at 60 mph. I'm getting 26 mpg but want to pick up a few more mpg's but also want to make sure I don't run into problems running too narrow of a tire. Problems I can think of are excessive tire wear and terrible handling. So I was wondering if anybody has run a skinny 215/85/16 tire and how did it work out?
