Walnut Grove MN USA
local tire shop is installing more and more "chinese" tires as they seem to be better built than the domestics now. Heavier in the sidewall. You may give up some milage but it would be miniscule. You are going to give up tire life though, could be a lot. That is due to the fact that mud tires are usually a softer compound and bigger gaps between the lugs equals less rubber on the road.
