Do bigger tires make your gearing lower or higher?

Do bigger tires make your gearing lower or higher?

Answer:

bigger tyre is only suitable for bigger car.if u use bigger tyre.the capacity is high,.u would have low performance n it also will reduce ur car's speed
It depends on your reference point. Personally, I would say that it lowers it. It will take less engine rpm's to go the same distance than it would if you had the oem tires on it. Others might say that it raises it. Just the same way going from a 3.55 rear end ratio to a 4.11 ratio. Are you raising it, or lowering it? Since you are talking about the ratio, I say that you are raising it. The same with the tires, the bigger tires means that you are lowering the ratio, and therefore you are lowering it.
Taller tires will cause rpms and acel to act like a higher (lower number) rear gear Short tires will cause rpm and acell to act like lower gears (high number) 1 diff in tire hight the same change as .06:1 ratio rear gear
