When I went from 14" Carats to the 16" ers I have now, the tire diameter changed upward by 1/10 inch...no change in "gearing" at all and no change in performance. I was driving 225's before and still do but now my sidewalls are quite a bit lower, 60's vs 70's. The TIICO allows the gear range to be used more due to the increased 1000 rpms. It climbs in 3rd gear at 4500 rpm easily. Bob
