Your original tire was 28.9" in diameter...the new tire is 27" in
diameter...that puts your final drive ratio at: 3.44:1 (from 3.21:1)

Subject: DML: Ratio vs Tire size

 I recently switched to a 235/75R15 snow tire after having been ussing a
255/60R15 for about 2 years (great tires!). This has made a HUGE
difference in excelleration and changed the feel of the truck
significatly (much slower now). If someone wants a quick ratio change
without changing the rear diff. gears I would suggest this as a quick
change!! I now understand why folks with tall swampers change such a
high ratio.
