Question on the Chart. What about Automatics with overdrive? I think my JK Automatic isn't 1:1 in overdrive. Also, is this "advertised" tire size, or Actual?
I am running 35s (actually measure 33.5"). I have Stock 3.73 gears and they seem fine to me, but on the highway the slightest hill or accelleration takes it out of overdrive. I don't recall if this was true before the new tires. I was wondering if regearing would improve gas milage (performance seems OK for my needs). FYI. I also used the AEV Procal to correct the speedo for the new tires.
Great write-up. Thanks for all the work to educate me.
