[Vwdiesel] Diesel rabbit wheels / tires

[Bryant Baecht]

Thanks for the update Miser!  I've got the four speed in mine but am looking
for a 5 speed someday.  I figure if I increase the tire circumference, I'll
need the extra overlap of the gears.  Dreaming and scheming...Course if I
put the turbo engine in it, I'll be set!  I think the first thing I'll do is
update the struts.  Been talking to some people about that, and have a
friend that probably has boag struts for the little rabbit so should be able
to get it done cheap, which, I'm sure will help the ride A TON.  Ball joints
are on the list of todo's too.

I suspect that tall and thin is best. Whatever happened to
crossplys with their firm walls? I hated my first set of
radials.. it was like riding on jelly unless I added 10psi
above recommended :o(
Effectively you'd only loose torque on 1st gear and you
could use first instead of 2nd; 2nd where you'd normally use
3rd...and 5th where you'd like 6th to be...{8OD}
