Lots of guys get smaller diameter, yet wider tires. This is a good route
to follow, since it adds gear and it lowers the rear way down which puts
weight on the back tires... no more traction problem. If you get a tire 4
inches shorter it is the same as going from a 3.55 to a 4.10 rear end.
Just remember to not have too much air in the back tires.
