Sorry, but that is incorrect. Her original gear ratio is 3.07 and her
tires were 29". It's s simple ratio between the tire diameter and gear
ratio to maintain the same RPM. 29/3.07=9.45. If she maintains that same
ratio between tire diameter and gear ratio, her RPM will remain the
same. To calculate the gear ratio, she just needs to divide the tire
diameter by 9.45 to get the proper gear ratio if she wants to achieve
the same RPM as original.

for 31s it would be 3.26
for 33s it would be 3.49

Sorry, but it's widely held that 4.10 is correct for 31/32, 4.56 is for 33's
and 4.88 for 35's.
