I have an 08 Trog running the standard 225/60/15 rear tires. These tires have a diameter of 25.6 and at 70MPH I am turning 2750 RPM. If I drop down to a smaller diameter tire size of 225/50/15 which has a 23.9 diameter, what will be the difference in RPM at 70MPH?
225 60 15 25.6 Diamenter= 2750RPM @ 70 MPH
225 50 15 23.9 Diameter = ? @ 70MPH.
I know speedo will need to reclaibrated but no problem with that.
Would like to make this change if possible in lieu of having to change out the front sprocket from 32 to 30. Need lower gearing for pulling my trailer.
Any good math guys out there? Thanks.
