Mike you mentioned205/55/15 tires. Most others I have seen mentioned are
205/50/15. You also have 55 series in front? Do these fit without
modifications?
I try to decide what to put on 15" Panasports. For a what softer ride I
would prefer 55 series. David Munroe mentioned on the list that his 50
series are stiff for regular touring, and that is what do.
Anyone else have comments on 50 or 55 series?
Happy 2011 to all.
Robert

Hard to say, since my speedo reads 8 % slow due to 205/55 15 tires. But
At 3000 I would say about 75 mph.

rear end gear ratio
While 3.31:1 is a common warmed over Tiger ratio,
be sure your speed (speedometer will probably be wrong) and tach
(original Smiths tachs will undoubtely be reading high) are giving you
the right numbers to plug into the calculator. Gary

There are lot's of responses, but if you want to check out YOUR gear
ratio, 4 & 5 speed, tire/wheel size and shift speeds vs the rpm's you
think your good for, here is a MARVELOUS resource by Bob Hokanson. It
is quite thorough and even provides a link to a free MS Excel Reader
that works for both PC and Mac O/S. The "calculator" lets one change
the rpm, transmission gear ratio selector, switch to another tranny
gear, and "shift".
The data set default is Tiger Mk I "close ratio" (not) and the MkII
"wide ratio" (not), the Mustang 5 speed, the Motorsport 5 speed, and the
JBA 1352-000-204 5 speed transmissions.
Lot's of fun, and utility. I've had both the stock Mk I 4spd, and the
MkII. I like the MkII "wide ratio - not" for around town and highway.
Could stand a little longer 4th by using a 5 spd, but the MkII is
perfectly adequate.
