OK, I'm the new kid on the block(stupid). I bought a quadzilla stealth 2 for my 2007 and 1/2 Duramax and at same time I bought a turbo back exhaust system. I did all this to increase my fuel mileage, because I have a diesel part. filter. Well installing the exhaust system went smooooth enough. I then had to re-flash the quadzilla with a usb flash from site(this put the no-dpf tunes on it).Now before I ever started the engine I installed the 50hp tune with no-dpf. Now I'm driving around with a truck that is a RAPED-APE...friggin god-zilla like power..it's burning off my tires every time I touch the gas pedal. What kinda TIRES should I put on my truck, maybe bigger wheels and tires. How much mileage increase can I really expect to get, if the truck runs like a banshee will I really get better mileage??Maybe I should use the STOCK no-dpf tune? Anybody??

usually the bigger the tune the better the mileage. That is the joy of a diesel:thumb:

285 or 305 all terrains should work good depending on your driving conditions

Leveling kit and 285s but if you are 100% on highway a duragrappler style may hold better for you.
