Retorter Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Hi All - just seeking some feedback about gear ratios and larger tyres. Does anybody have hands-on experience with 245/75r17 or 265/70r17 (both approx. 31.6 inches) and how these sizes impact overall drivability on-road and off-road? Is there a noticeable compromise from standard sizes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashcroft transmissions have a ratio calculator on their website, you will find it on this forum as well with a search I'm not good with the linky thing sorry regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 A friend ran those sizes on his FL2 (2.2SD automatic). He used the car as daily, to tow his trailer and for offroading, all without any problems. He even came with us to Seven Sisters a couple of years ago and everyone was amazed how well the FL2 did. Part due to his driving, but the bigger tyres helped as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
