Re: RE: biggest tires I could run
Okay, I'll try and explain it. If it doesn't make sense, let me know and I'll try again.
Look at the way your rear-end's ring gear spins. That setup is the strongest way to do it (for a standard pinion rear end).
Now, if the front ring gear was to spin the same way, it would cause the front tires to spin the opposite way as the rear tires. So, they simply made it so it would rotate opposite to the rear ring gear, causing both the front and rear tires to spin the same way. This is a standard cut ring/pinion gear....which is what most vehicles have.
By reversing the "rotation" of it (not really the rotation, but they simply cut the teath so they are "pointing" the opposite direction) , it causes it to be as strong as the rear end (if they were the same size axles, gears, etc....obviously).
That make sense?
