Here are the tires sizes that are on my s-10.
The front tires are 205/65-R16's..= 8" wide and 24" tall. Tread patch = 6" wide.
The rear tires are 275/60-R15...= 10" wide and 27-28" tall. Tread patch = 9 1/4" wide.

the rear end i have now(2.73's and a peg leg) is gonna be taken out soon to be replaced by one with 3.73's and a posi unit. but as of now....it sucks off the line,but i dont have any traction problems....but i have a feeling all that will change with the new rearend. my cruise rpm as of now is about 2500rpm's at around 65mph. what i need to know is this....
should i get a set of wider back tires?
would yall change the rear tire size?
what will be my cruising rpm ith the 3.73's at 65mph?
How many mpg's will i lose with the rearend change?
will my truck have a lot more "balls" off the line with the 3.73's? because...as of now,im really dissapointed.
oh yeah...one more thing...My truck will not idel at anything under 1100-1250 rpms.If i try to get it any lower...the truck coughs,laughs, and dies.
is this my carb? cuz ive checked everything else.i dont have a can of carb cleaner,so that test is outta the picture and the only one i havent done.
The carb is a 600cfm vac sec holley.
