Interesting... 700

Al,

I have a 245 with Michelin 195/60 tires on turbo rims.

So, I keyed in:

Tire Width in (mm): 195

Aspect Ratio: 60

Rim Diameter in (inch): 15

Transmission Gear Ratio: 0.80 (M46 overdrive ratio)

Differential Ratio (final drive): 3.31

Says that I should be doing 68.1mph at 2500rpm. If I recall correctly, my tach reads about 2600 @ 70mph, so that sounds about right.

Cool. Thanks for sharing..
