Gear Ratio Calculator

Calculate axle ratio and engine RPM at cruising speeds. Essential when changing differential gears or tire sizes.

Gear Ratio Formulas

Axle Ratio = Ring Teeth / Pinion Teeth | RPM = (Speed × Ratio × 336) / Tire Diameter

Higher ratio = more acceleration, higher RPM, lower top speed. Lower ratio = better fuel economy, lower RPM.

Frequently Asked Questions

What ratio is best for fuel economy?
Lower ratios (2.73, 3.08) = lower cruising RPM = better MPG. Higher ratios (3.73, 4.10) = better acceleration.
How do tire size and gear ratio interact?
Larger tires = lower effective ratio. If you increase tire size, you may need higher gears to maintain performance.
