That tire is actually stock diameter, revolutions per mile so no speedo or gearing advantage. However it really should be on a 7" wide wheel minimum. Also, is it rated to be inflated to proper Vanagon pressures or is it limited to 35 psi.?

I wanted better handling and it definitely worked but I really didnt think about the mph difference. Thanks!! Jason |
