Default Rear end gear

Has anyone changed the rear end gear. My 2018 grand sport breaks lose the tires so ez. Would installing a taller gear help prevent this. Or any other benifits?

My understanding is that there are few gears available. I think I remember a thread about doing this w/ aftermarket gears and it didn't leave me with the feeling that it was a good idea. Also, while I know there are slight differences in gears between my base and your GS, but I wouldn't want any taller gears in mine. For more traction I'd look at tires.

I agree on a diff tire & even maybe going to a 18 even for more tires to choice from & that will hold to the road better.
