My 235/70 x 15 tires came in yesterday. They are 28 inches tall? better than the 25.6" 225/60's on the car now. I will pick up 5 mph at 60, a 9% increase. The revs at 60 drop from 3060 to 2800 with the 3.89 gears. I bought 5 different speedometer drive gears so I can correct the speedometer. This simple change makes the 3.89 act like a 3.56 compared to what it was.

BTW I LOVE your driver! :003:




Lynn,guys,...

I gave a wrong number on the tires(sorry I was perusing the site)..My Firestones are a 235/75x15 which the diameter is 28.9 inches tall.. interestingly ... the tire brought the revs down a bunch...and now I can  hit 70mph with a tach score of 2900..I can live with that.
Also I went to a 3:25 rear pot from the 3:50 and it did not make a lick of difference from what I can tell.....The tall tire and a 15 inch rim seemed to do it all.....

got plans this winter to do a bunch more work
