4.10 and tall tires
« on: April 09, 2009 - 02:14:37 PM »
How high should the rear tires be at least when having a 4.10 rear?

That's really up to you. The taller the tire, the fewer RPM's the engine will turn.

Thanks for the replys guys!  :2thumbs:

Good point! I was concerned about less rpm at occasional highway speeds.
But, with 4.10 I'm obviously not much into low revs (and mpg), even if I'd like better mph at the end, and at the end of the day, a dead T5R is a good T5R!  :naughty:

That Visual Speed and RPM calculator is really useful!
