Why would you lose power with your 87 samurai after putting on larger tires?

simply put the motors are to small also the are rated very badly for roll overs so larger tires is not really a good idea

edit: loss of power attributed to larger tires can be corrected by changing the gearing in either or both the transfer case and differentials. Download the FREE Suzuki Samurai Shop Manual from http://www.suzukiinfo.com/ or visit zukikrawlers.com

Also, the roll-over tendency of the Samurai is no greater than any other SUV of similar wheelbase. Details of the infamous Consumer Reports falsification of test results can be found at http://www.suzukiinfo.com/

Suzuki successfully sued Consumer Reports and demonstrated in court that CR had rigged the tests to cause the Samurai to fail.
