Hi again Bill.

I have been looking at a tire calculator. It shows that the difference between the 225/50-16" and a 225/45-16" tire is .9"

The difference between 225/50-16 and 225/50-15 is 1.0"
This means that it is only a .1" difference between the 225/50-15 and the 225/45-16.

SO, can I assume approx 12ft lbf more torque with the gearing from 225/50-16 to 225/45-16" ?

Cheers
