How do you find the gear ratio?
To calculate the gear ratio: Divide the number of driven gear teeth by the number of drive gear teeth. In our example, it’s 28/21 or 4 : 3. This gear ratio shows that the smaller driver gear must turn 1,3 times to get the larger driven gear to make one complete turn.
What is a 410 gear ratio?
A 4.10 axle ratio will provide improved acceleration in stop and go city traffic. A lower gear (higher numerical) ratio provides more low-speed wheel torque, which makes it easier to get the vehicle moving when pulling a trailer or carrying a heavy load.
Are 4.11 gears good for highway?
4.11 is a big jump from 3.73. If you dont do any 50+ mile highway drives, and keep it “around town”, you could be OK with 4.11’s. Tire size has a big effect on your overall gearing.
Is 373 a good gear ratio?
3.73:1 is a “higher” gearing, meaning that you have less torque, a higher top speed, and each gear will be a little bit farther apart. 4.11:1 is a “lower” gear ratio, meaning you have more torque, lower top speed, and you will generally consume more fuel.
Do taller tires increase gear ratio?
When changing gears for taller tires, you are heading to a numerically higher gear ratio. The higher the gear ratio, the smaller the pinion gear. You do not want go too low in an effort to increase power to the wheels and/or relieve stress in the rest of the drivetrain.
What gear ratio should I use for 35 inch tires?

How much does tire height affect gear ratio?
generally 1 inch in tire diameter eqauls 1/10 gear ratio, so a 1 inch shorter tire would put the gearing at 2.83.
