driven nicely on closed tread 31's down in the 10s. given a bit, probably 12.

on 35 aggressive tread pattern probably something in the 12-14 area depending how you drive.

My TB42T that I just pulled out was getting 22-26lt / 100km
Now the TD42 I just put in is getting 11 - 12.5lt / 100 km on the highway.
