That's interesting that Saab used the 9:35 rear end (3.89) in 99's and 900's
until 1981, then switched to a 9:33 rear end (3.67) for 1982 onwards. But wait!
In 1989 they mixed it up and made it 9:35 again.
Wheel/tire size has the same effect as changing final drive. I switched to a
215/45-17 this year that is 24.5" tall and I love the larger diameter... it gets a
few less revs at all speeds compared to a 205/50-15 or a 205/50-16 (both ~23.2" diameter).
I guess that you could also say more road speed at all revs!
