Your larger tires are going to go further than the indicated mileage shown. Factor in the additional distance when calculating the miles per gallons.

I use Fuelly.com to track my consumption. Link is in my signature area.

I'm running 285/35R20's on mine with the stock 20's. Does a much better job of filling out the wheel wells and gives better protection to the rim from all the damn potholes in Michigan.

I currently have 275/35R20 front and rear on the 20s for my 2016 A7 with no issues so far. Yes potholes are bad in some areas but I am very keen on looking out for them so no bent rims or damaged tires in over 8 years on my end.
