It does affect overall ratio. The transmission ratios, the axle ratio, and tire size all figure into overall ratio.

Does a change in tire size affect a transmission gear?

Your transmission shifts according to the speed you are traviling. Different tire size rotate different speeds according to how big or small they are, small tire will rotate 2 times as a big tire rotates 1 so the ratio is 2to1 so if u have bigger tires u will travel further and faster than a smaller tire so it will affect when transmission shifts

What limits the speed of the bicycle?

A bicycle's speed is limited by several factors. Below is a list of some of these factors that limit bicycle speed. -Gear the bicycle is in. -Weight of bicycle and/or rider. -Size of gears. -Terrain -Tire size -Strength or power of the rider. -One key point to note is that the speed at which a rider can spin the wheel is related to the ratio between the front gear size and the rear gear size. If the front gear is larger than the rear gear, the rear gear(and thus the tire) can achieve a higher spin rate because one spin of the front gear will equate to multiple spins of the rear gear. Therefore the better the ratio is, the faster the bike can travel. Also, the tire size can be a limiting factor of a bicycle's speed. If the rear gear spins at 1RPM and the rear tire has a circumference of 1 meter, then 1 meter will be traveled every minute. So plainly the greater the circumference the better. This also brings in a third factor however, the weight of the tire. At a certain size, the tire becomes so heavy that friction of the wheel on the ground makes it more difficult to achieve motion. The lighter the tire is the less friction it will create.


How do you change the speedometer after increasing tire size on dodge ram 1500?

AnswerYou don't actually change out the speedometer. you need to change the spedometer gear if you go to your local 4x4 shop or dodge dealer they can do the math and order you a new gear and install it. On my 2001 Dodge 3500 the abs controller has to be reprogrammed if you increase the stock tire size. The controller is programed according to the rear end gear ratio and the tire size. Mine has 4 wheel anti lock brakes.


Are the front and rear end gears the same ratio?

Sometimes, but most of the times first gear is stronger than rear. A 4 wheel drive vehicle must have the same gear ratio in the front and rear differentials including the rim and tire size on all four corners.


Will a speedometer cluster from a 1991 freightliner fld120 interchange with a 1994 freightliner fld120 classic speedometer cluster?

The Classic was the FLD132, and no. For one, the speedometer is set according to the gear ratio, tire size, and rear end gear ratio of the truck, and if those vary, the speed won't be accurate.


If you change tire sizes on your vehicle how do you determine what is the correct gear ratio to put in your vehicle?

you dont need to worry about gear ratio if you go to a larger tire depending on how big on my 2001 ram 1500 i can go from stock 245/75/16 up to 285/75/16 just need to reset the speedometer with dealer scanner that way you wont affect the configuration of your computer
