ok, if this is on your titan the stock size tires are 32.7 inches.... the new size for yours is 33.35 (325/60R18) so divide new size by stock size and get 1.01... so take that number and multiply it by your trip meter reading and use it for milage..... so if it was 300 miles read on dash * 1.0198776758409785932721712538226 you get 305.96 which is basically 306 miles.... not much of a difference..... however, if you had 245/75R17's and were using the milage from that then it would be a bigger difference.. so if you drove 300 miles on the 245 17's you should have calculated for 288 miles.... i hope i explained it clear enough....
