- Yes, which gear you are in is also car dependent. For SCCA courses (not AAS): "Courses must be tight enough so that cars run the entire course in their lower gears. Speeds on straight stretches shoul

- The gearing got 5% shorter, and the wheel size got 7% bigger, but those only cancel if you drive on your rims. The difference in nominal size between a 185/60-14 tire and a 195/50-15 tire is about 0.

- According to the specs for the AVS Intermediate on Yokohama's web site, that tire makes 910 revolutions per mile in the 185/60-14 size and 913 revolutions per mile in the 195/50-15 size. Which yields
