yes, almost positive gearings right. when i had my s-10 everyone always talked about how when they put smaller tires on there truck, the trucked seemed a bit pepier. think about it this way a monster truck takes how much power to move it? why? the tires are as big as me and you...and it weighs a lot.

the difference between 215mm wide and 225mm wide is 1 cm not 10.

taller tires=lowing gearing
shorter tires=higher gearing

higher gearing will get you off the line better...alero(3.05) vs. gagt(3.29)

hope that makes sense!
