Re: Don't like my tall 1st Gear - Do my larger tires make the difference?

The truck came with 265/70R15 winter tires on it which even by looks appear much bigger than stock. I did the tire comparison chart with stock (225/70R15) and it says the circumference difference is 88.3 vs 93.0 inches = +4.6% difference.

In your opinions, do you think if I went back to stock with summer tires that the 4.6% difference would make a big difference on how my first gear feels or would this be negligible?

I deleted your duplicate post in the "Projects and Builds" forum. This would be the correct forum for your question....
