Gear ratio have an impact on fuel efficiency, torque, and transmission shifting. Installing larger tires like 35&#8243; or 37&#8243; can alter the balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Gear Basics | understanding gear ratio<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">The gear ratio indicates the number of teeth on your ring and pinion gears and it shows how many times the driveshaft has to rotate to make the wheels complete one revolution. For example, a Jeep with a gear ratio of 4.10 requires the driveshaft to rotate 4 times for the wheels to spin once. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/nwg.pap.temporary.site\/website_8df569e8\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/72325.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2442 lazyload\" width=\"327\" height=\"232\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nwg.pap.temporary.site\/website_8df569e8\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/72325.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2442 lazyload\" width=\"327\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nwg.pap.temporary.site\/website_8df569e8\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/72325.jpg 450w, https:\/\/nwg.pap.temporary.site\/website_8df569e8\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/72325-300x213.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 327px) 100vw, 327px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Sample Picture Only<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-left has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>To Simplify GEAR RATIO even further<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-medium-font-size\">Lower gear ratios result in slower speeds but greater acceleration.
