Default Rear wheel and tires

just put up the new 18x10 rims in the back with 275 wide tires. Now it feels like i need to press more on gas just to make it move like before. My car has 108000. Since im changing my gears in the back to 3.73 to gain the feeling of my ride. what else do you guys recommend to do to my rear end?

One of the reasons it seems like it takes more throttle, is your wheel/tire combo is heavier, and it has more traction, which means more resistance. That's the advantage of more meat, you are able to launch under more power. And yeah, at 108k as long as your inside, take care of the trac-lok
