Don't know if the vitara is the same as the sierra but with 30's on mine you have to be 5 k's under on the speedo to do what your doing! As in if your speedo reads 95 your doing 100! Hope this helps!

Thats at 100k's.
If you are doing 60k's then your speedo is out by a different percentage.

Tyre/Gear calculator

Post by karmic »

Heres a site that lets you put in old and new tyre sizes and will show you the speed differences:

It also has a few gear-related calculations there as well.
