I'm currently running 32" tyres and find 70:1 to be too low for most
anything I drive, but I found the factory stock 40:1 to be too high for
a lot of technical driving I 've done. Next set of tyres I will be
going to 33.4" dia. I'm not sure I'm ready for the clearance issues of
35's.
I keep thinking the one Ton low range first gear overall ratio would be
perfect for technical work in the rocks.
