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?
