ok there has been several posts about the size of the tires for the 4x4 scrammys....my question is that you say one inch taller right...well that would techincally throw off the ratio...if you think about it.. hypathetically you have a one inch tire in back in 2 in the front...then you more to a 3 in the front and 2 in the back...so the ration with the one and two would be 2/1 and the 3 inch and 2 inch would be 3/2...this is decressing the ratio...so why is allways one inch...just something that has been buggin me for a bit I guess

 

hmmm all i know is that u half to have one inch taller in the front so that that it engages right and it doesnt slip

 

I know but y one inch?

 

i have not a clue.... never paid attention really to this subject but everone on here says to make sure u have one inch taller but i just wonder whats one inch...like for instance some guys front tires will be like new and the back tires be balled thats like 5/8 of a inch

 

i see your point....hmmmm. I stick w/ the stock tire sizes so everything works right.

 

you move up one inch all the way around so you are changing the ratio equally

 

There is some leeway in the Polaris system. I have run 22's all around on my Scrambler for years and the 4WD works fine.

 

There is a true ratio that you are shooting for when getting tires for these 4x4s. But due to the amount of slip before engagement there is some fudge factor. Part of the reason for such a high fudge factor is the fact that two tires from the same manufacturer may not measure exactly the same.

 

The 20% speed differential (slip)....

 

not true...as I stated in my first post go witht he on inch and two inch tires...ratio wold be 2/1 right...them bump them up one inch each...3/2....2/1=2 3/2 =1.5 not eqaul
