Re: Tire Size Question
Before the 31"s my Brother-in-law's '94 YJ four banger could go any
speed he wanted on the straight and level, and got a ticket for ninety,
after the extra weight limited that to seventy miles per hour and that's
with a tailwind: http://home.att.net/~taschers/beach03.jpg

Re: Tire Size Question
I read somewhere that every lb of unsprung weight is worth 10 lb of sprung
weight ; don't know if that's true or not.

Re: Tire Size Question
Hi Dave,
To keep something turning takes more horsepower the heavier it is,
that's why the drag racers use a thirteen pound aluminum flywheel and
lighter rims and tires. Of course, that flywheel also stores energy,
that will made the stock V6 buick power CJ with it's fifty pound
flywheel easily crawl over rocks that would easily stop a couple of
hundred more horsepower in a 350" Chevy V8. I know taking your hundred
pound girlfriend with you down the drag strip will cost you a tenth of a
second. As far as sprung and unsprung weight, all I know is it makes a
great deal of difference in their ride and cornering ability, like road
racers need independent suspension to win.
