Yes, the Syncro 16" has a r&p ratio of 6,17:1 vs 4,86:1 on the regular 2,1
Syncro. It is NOT necessary to replace the r&p ratio, but then you can forget all
about offloading with them large tires, or? David Marshall, you must be the man
to tell us about this, you drive with 16" wheels and stock ratio!
