Now I know why my N/A 300TD was so fast and quiet on the Highway
As part of my spring cleaning I pulled the four snow tires off the 300TD. After I put on the 205/70-14 summer tires I stood back and noticed something strange. The summer tires looked much smaller than the snow tires even though they both are 205/70 profile tires. Sure enough out on the highway this morning at about 75 mph the motor sounded a little louder and I could tell it was turning over faster. This is giving me more incentive to find a 3.07 diff. Anyone in the the tristate area have a good one they want to sell?
