    I Was Recently Using A Method Learned Here For Checking Gar Ratio. Spin The Tire One Full Revolution And Count The Revolutions Of The Yolk. We Did This And The Yolk Only Went Around Just Less Than 2 Turns. Making The Ratio Like A 1:90 Or So. I Have Never Heard Of A Ratio That High. What Did I Do Wrong. Any Help Would Be Geat.

    One wheel has to be on the ground with an open differential to get an accurate count. ;)

    if you only spin one wheel you multiply by 2. So you probably got 3.73s.
