i'm getting around 13-15 city and 24-26 hyway.
i'm not to familiar this tire sizes, but 35/12.5/r16, are these tires bigger than stock tires?
The weight of the vehicle also can factor into fuel milage, for example 4x4 can add weight.
But with my truck i have learned the way i drive can factor in the milage i get.

If you look under the hood there should be a sticker with some info including gear axle ratio. At least there is on mine.
