Good question!I have always believed that you could not have too much tire on a car, IF the car was able to handle, or prepared for the bigger tires.
The weight of the wheels and tires is something to consider.
The stock wheels and tires weigh about 40 pounds each.
Heavier wheels and tires are harder to both accellerate and decellerate, making the car slower (to get going)and harder to stop.
Knowing that a 4.44 has MUCH better torque in all four gears this allows a little lattitude in tire sizing.
But back to your question.
I called Mike at ECUTune to ask him if He could make some 4.44 speedometer compensators.
This might be a great thing for those out there with 4.44s and want to keep the stock tire diameter.
On my SC Claret I went with bigger tires and wheels.
It has the torque, brakes and suspension to handle the big wheels and tires that are actually lighter than our stock ones.
