Measure the height of the tire in inches. This is the diameter.
Mutiply this number by pi (3.14159) this will give you the circumference. Convert that number into feet by dividing by 12.
Divide that number into 5280. The result will be the number of revolutions the wheel makes to move one mile. _________________ The greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance, but the illusion of knowledge

thank you, I will remove the OG spare outta my camper and do that...
was trying to figure which is closer to stock, the continental vanco 8s in 195/14 (797 revs per mile) or the 185/14 (817 revs per mile).. |
