I wish I could tell you but there are far too many variables to predict how much of a decrease 31's will give you. It probably will decrease your mileage, unless someone has your exact set up it's a scientific wild ass guess.

I run goodyear wrangler rts all the way around on my 2wd dakota with a 3.9l v6 have been doing so for 90,000 miles I drive 80% highway and get about 18.5 mpg with a manual transmission and some extra weight tool box and push bar my speedo is 3 mph off roughly now but I like the ride and first gear with the 3.21 rears is plenty low enough to pull it from a standstill without excess rpm or clutch slippage I am glad I made the switch car tires don't belong on a truck
