It has NOTHING to do with wheel size, tire width, etc..

Hmm ok. I got 83.9 f and 83.5 rear circumference. So where's the 1.18 fall into that? Math wise, I want to see the formula. And we all turn off the VDC and unplug the YAW sensor.

That gives you a ratio of 83.9:83.5 or 1.005. You are well within the limits.

The formula is divide the larger tire circ by the smaller tire circ.

Yes I saw that. But I know for a fact people did not state a 1.00 number. It's was 1.18. So they must not have been talking about divided tire circumference with the OEM tires.

What he is saying is 1.18 is the max ratio you can achieve before your vehicle starts to freak out with VDC and everything else. You're goal is to not reach that 1.18 ratio, not that that is the optimal ratio.
