By making the tires bigger you increase the torque needed to turn them.
Would putting larger tires on not increase the Highway MPG but decrease the
City MPG?

If a 5% reduction in final drive ratio nets an improvement of several mpg's,
I question what the manufacturer's were thinking in not taking advantage of
that.
