If a change in MPG has occurred it has been so minimal that I've not noticed. The primary thing I've noticed since swapping my OEM Conti's for the Michelin LT235/85R-16 Defender LTX M/SE is a smoother, quieter ride and IMO a better look.
You do have to account for the larger tire circumference on your speedometer for you'll gain from what I'm seeing between 2~3 MPH...since switching to these tires I tend to monitor the MPH readout on the Fusion Infotainment Screen for an accurate MPH.
