You're never going to get stock, or close to it, gas mileage running tires that are 25% bigger than OEM. You can regear to get back a portion of the torque you lost, ie seat of the pants power, with the bigger tires. With 35s I'd recommend 4.56 gears unless you want more off road capability, then I go lower, like 4.88 or deeper.

4.88's, only if you have the stock 30, if you have a 44 in the front go to 5.13's. 4,56's work perfect with 33's.
