Allright. I am currently running 265/75/16...(31.6"'s) with 3.73 gears. My old tires were 235/75/15's...(28.8"'s). So...my new tires are about 10% larger. If i take my gear ratio and multiply it by 1.10 (for 10% more gears) I get 4.10...which tells me that 4.10 gears would be perfect for my X.....here in which lies my question. When I switch gears....theoretically wont that fix my speedometer error...b/c right now its off by 10% obviously. Also, wouldn't the new gears put my highway rpm's right back where they started when it was stock? I hope this makes sense to someone. I just wanted to check my bases before I did anything. Thanks, Bob
