OK
stock tires are about 29"-30" correct?
for argument and ease--say 30"
Multiply tire diameter by pi, and that is how far your truck travels with 3.73 turns of driveshaft-one revolution of tires-
94"
with a 33" tire
103.6
now, to put a common number to it ( I don't know the significance, just came up with this myself, as I am also pondering the same question)
distance divided by ratio.
If results are same when we gear and increase tire size--we are good yes?
94"/3.73=25.20 ----- 30 inch tire--this is where you are now. For the same driveability, and gas mileage, 25.2 is the result you want
103.6"/4.10=25.26-- 33" tire with 4.10 gears
103.6"/4.11=25.20 -- 33" tire with 4.11 gears
Ok, now using this reasoning--4.10's sound ok, but I think in actual usage, it is a bit steep. We haven't considered the extra weight of the larger tires,
What is the next step---4.56's
103.6/4.56=22.7 --
like I said, I really have no idea what this means, or if I am even on the right track
bump
