Now that you have your truck lifted, you want bigger meats. They look cool and have the potential of being very functional, but they may also be robbing you of power/gas mileage. This calculator will get you back to a ratio that’s closer to your original. Enter the values on the left and press Compute.
Find new Gear Ratio with new tire size Old Tire Diameter: New Tire Diameter: Current Gear Ratio: New Gear Ratio:
Ever wonder how far off your speedometer is with your new bigger tires? This uses a simple ratio calculation, so the info will only approximate your corrected speed and depends on the accuracy of tire size diameters (assuming nothing but tire size has changed).
