I got all my vehicles together in one picture.
jkv, I have some michelin road 5s already on the way. $312 shipped, and can install at work for free.

You will, however, be spinning the engine at a slower RPM for the same speed, which is probably what you're thinking.

Didn't bother responding to this until now, but yes, the situation I was referencing was LOWERING output shaft speed, not increasing chain speed for the same output speed by increasing sprocket size. Of course the chain will go faster if you spin a larger output sprocket at the same speed!
I am not using this as an excuse to go 85 mph instead of 70 mph!
