ok, let me help you.....
you said...."it's the TIRE that changes effective gearing" REPEAT "THE TIRE"
THen you say two different different tires effect nothing.
THus a contradiction.....
Maybe read the several hundred posts I have on tire size/ diameter effecting mpg.
oh, and I stand by the FACT that a reduction in a 16 inch tire in 1940 will FACTUALLY effect the ratio when using a 13 inch tire. PERIOD.
