    How much in mpg would I be sacrificing between a 22.5 and 24.5 with 3.58 rears and a 10 spd.

    Depends.
    10 direct or OD?
    11/24.5 or LP?
    11/22.5 or LP?

    11/22.5 & LP 24.5 are the same diameter.

    What speed?

    You've asked an open ended question.

    I emailed Bridgestone once and asked if there was a difference in rolling resistance in various tire sizes they said there was not.
