4.10's and 35's equal stock tires and 3.73's. so not horrid rpm's. 37's make 3.54, which was 2700 at 70.. still a little high for my taste.

taller tire, less rpm's.

Redneck OverDrive.

well i put some smaller tires on my f250 it has 3:55s and it feels higher geared. maybe its all in my head i went from 265/75/16 to 215/85/16. im planning on getting some 305/75/16 i think thats about a 33"?

never seen that size, have seen 305/70, and that is a 34.

quick math on tire size. take 305 divide it by 25 (real number is slightly higher) then take the sidewall dealy, the 75 or 85 and double it, so you are 1 and a half, or 1.7.. multiply the divided by result (in this case 12) with the 1.X (in this case half) and add that to rim size. in this case its `18+16=34. Your new sneaks are 34" tall and 12" wide.

4.10s and a C6 it's a screamer unless you have some huge tires on there or some sort of OD. I had that with 265/75/16 back when I was seeing a girl down in S. FL, I don't envy him a cross country trip in that setup. 3.55 and T18 is a screamer enough but nothing like 68mph at 3000 rpm on the FL turnpike!
