OK, these Walmart mud tires are *really* sticky. Like... 11 mpg sticky (instead of 13 mpg same conditions). Not for long highway trips, these things. I let off the gas pedal and it feels like I'm applying the brake pedal this thing slows down so fast from 75mph to 0.

So, fair warning.

Are you sure you got the correct PSI in the front and rear tyres?

What do they weigh vs the old tires?
More weight will drop mpg too.

Probably heavier than the old ones.
Look up the weight for each and see.

Does it matter when we are discussing MPGs of 11 and 13?? Either option is terrible lol I mean that's just the price to play once you start lifting and throwing MTs on there.
