    does 195-75x14 sound right? I have made a few changes, from 2.79's to 3.25 final drive ratio, then changed the tire size from 235-60x14's to L60x14's (275-60x14)'s. The old tire dia was 25" and the new is 28". All I am doing is math to tell me what my actual speed is while reading the speedometer.
    Thanks, Ken

    Interesting, I have 295-60x14's not 275-60x14's. Cool.
