Nice lazy cruising there Shu, 
Trying to find an article in one of last months car mags, a firm has come up with a new CVT gearbox using constantly changing meshed gears rather than belts, they were running it in a Ford Explorer it could vary from 1mph/1000rpm to 80mph/1000rpm, a picture with the article proved this. They also could set it up to have 8 "steps" so it'd run like an eight speed manual.
Because there are no belts the manufacturers were saying it would make an excellent high performance box and they hoped to have a prototype out soon.

This may be a dumb question , but does a car actually travel a shorter distance when the tyre pressures are low?.
At first I thought it would because the measured radius between the hub and the ground will reduce as the tyre pressure is lowered,kind of like having a smaller wheel.
But then I decided that even though the radius is less the circumference must stay the same, and if it does then the car must always travel the same distance no matter what the tyre pressure is.
So which is it?

Figures achieved tocay for Sti3 v-ltd.
1st gear:26mph@4000revs
2nd gear:38mph@4000revs
3rd gear:52mph@4000revs
4th gear:68mph@4000revs
5th gear:90mph@4000revs
Do the little sum and top speeds for each gear are:
1st gear:53.6mph
2nd gear:78.4mph
3rd gear:107.2mph
4th gear:140.2mph
5th gear:185.6mph
How does this compare and does it end the disagreement?
Cheers Paul.
