1st 3.09 - 1
2nd 2.2 - 1
3rd 1.538 - 1
4th 1 - 1 or 1.096 - 1 if temp is below 5 degrees F
5th 0.712 - 1
R 2.88 - 1

It's really a redesign of the previous 4 speed which now applies the overdrive ratio to all three primary gears (depending on temperature). Looks like it could be a really nice close ratio 6 speed with very little design work.

tn mac,
I love the PJ's, but longevity is not a strong point in any 38" tire I have ever run. The PJ's are really a good quality tire, I routinely drive 85-95 mph for long stretches, and tow a 9,000 lb. trailer, and the tires are wearing really nice. I use balance bead bags instead of weights, and rotate every 3,000. I estimate 25,000 useful miles, and I drive really hard. My next set will probably be Toyo Open Country M/T's, I have seen several sets go over 30,000 already with lots of life to go, looks like it is going to be a really quality tire, kinda pricey though.

have a great day!

Tim
