[QUOTE="Hanr3, post: 288838, member: 1055"] The tire is still going 65mph doesn't matter if its 33" or 8", its still going 65 mph. Speed has nothing to do with the number of revolutions the tire makes. The tire makes the same number of revolutions per mile no matter the speed, 20 mph or 65mph, speed doesn't matter. That being said, the tire is designed for the application. If it wasn't intended for the highway (speed rated), it would be rated accordingly. As for the bearings, bet they turn less than 1200 revolutions per mile. For a bearing, thats nothing, hell the pulley bearing attached to your engine runs at 1200-1500 rpm while your cruising the interstate. Never mind the 2,000-3,000 rpm while getting up to speed. There are 63,360" per mile. How many revolutions per mile with a 8" tire and a 29" in tire? 400-500 revolutions per mile difference is my guess. [/QUOTE]
