Re: running different diameter tires, tor-sen car



I picked up a big ol 2-penny nail in the right rear tire yesterday; will get 
it repaired tomorrow.  I swapped in a full-size but different tire/rim; 
however, the tire calculator says the circumfrence between the old and the 
new tire is different by about 2%.

As long as I don't lock the rear diff, I figure it's fine; much like going 
around a corner.  The open diff should handle any difference in rotational 
speed, right?  I figure if the tire was low on pressure the circumfrence 
could vary by a percent or so, as well.  Any comments/concerns?
