    Oh boy ! Yesterday I was lost like a blind man with all the transmission variations being tossed around. For some reason I thought I was going to be glad when the topic ran it's course and we moved on to a different subject. I've changed my mind. Maybe if I phrase a question just right, I can get you yahoo's involved in a debate about the pro's and cons of tall rubber ? Uh oh, let me try that again. Tall tires. Yeah, that sounds better.
    What effect do tall tires have besides a slight change of the final gearing ?
    Ride harshness ?

    Yeesh !
    Cat wrangling is easier than steering the conversation around here.

    Select Low Low and keep it there until you're on dry pavement from what was discussed yesterday.

    I don't know about ride harshness, and I assume that they have more rolling resistance, but I like them for ground clearance. That and they work well for my rear end ratios.

    And, I have never shaved my tires.....I do sipe them though!

    How much does it cost to get your tires siped? I’m assuming they’ll only do the drives?
