As Richard Notton pointed out, rear dual tire pair matching is as important
as axle input matching. The formula I just posted also factors this in.
Thats why the two tallest tires are together as are the two shortest tires.
This formula cannot be improved on unless you swap tires off the vehicle for
other tires! The reason it will not work with detroit lockers is the fact
that the tallest tires and the shortest tires are on the same axle. Spider
gears compensate for this but the detroit locker may not.
