Taller Tires Needed

If you want to fiddle with estimating your tire size, RPM, and speed, try this calculator. I like it a lot. If your transmission isn't one of those on the selection list you can put in your own gear ratios (and rear end ratios too) manually, so it will work with any combination you like.

The calculator says 26.5" tire, 3.73 gears, 4000 RPM gives you 85 MPH. I think @33IMP is right, the math doesn't pencil out - you likely have a bunch more gear than 3.73's. You might want to get someone to pace you at whatever speed, then check your RPM. From that we can figure out a decent guess what your gears are.

Yep. He might have TOLD you it had 3.73s, cause he might have been afraid you wouldn't buy it with 4.56s, LOL.
Edit: 26.5 tall tire, torqueflite with 5% converter slip, and 4.30 gear...... 70 mph at 4008 rpm.
If you really have 3.73s, and 5% slip.... 29.5 tall tire would be 3.123 rpm at 70mph
2nd edit: checking gear ratio is EASY if you have a sure grip. Jack up both rear wheels, neutral, turn the tire one revolution, and count the driveshaft turns.
