Old tire x Old Gear / New Tire = New Gear
OT x OG / NT = NG

 

Note - Rumor has it that 31" tires usually had a 19 tooth gear, and 235/75/15 tires had a  21 tooth gear

Example:

Old Tire - 29"
Old Gear - 19 tooth
New Tire - 33"
New Gear - ?

 

235/75/15 = 28.9"

 

If you change tire size and gears (or just gears), you have to go one step further:

New Gear / Old Ratio x New Ratio = New Gear

28.9

x 19

= 549.1

/ 33

= 16.639 (17 tooth)

 / 3.55

x 4.56

x 19

= 551

/ 33

= 16.697 (17 tooth)

/ 3.55

x 19

= 589

/ 33

= 17.848 (18 tooth)

/ 3.55

x 4.56

23.1

28.9

x 19

= 549.1

/ 36

= 15.253 (15 tooth)

/ 3.55

x 4.56

19.59

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Each tooth on the speedo gear adjusts your speedometer reading by approx. 5%. So when you add a tooth, you reduce the speedometer reading by 5%.
 

 

If you figure in the old speedo gear size with the new tire size and then adjust for the gear change size by 113%.

 

    19 tooth x 1.13 = 21.47
