I was thinking about this.
Hmmmm...

Tire size has nothing to do with the ratio between the engine RPM
and the speedo.  The back end could be jacked up with the back wheels
off and the drive shaft will turn at a set ratio to the engine RPM.

Now ground speed and drive shaft RPM has to do with tire size.
(boy is THAT a can of worms)

I just sound this way because I wish I had an A type OD.
