Tire Revolutions Calculator — Calculate Tire Rotations per Mile

Tire Revolutions Calculator

Calculate tire revolutions per mile based on tire dimensions. Determine rotations per mile for different tire sizes to understand speedometer calibration and gear ratio effects.

Understanding Tire Sizes

Tire size is typically expressed as Width/Aspect Ratio/Rim Diameter (e.g., 225/55R17). The aspect ratio is the height of the tire sidewall as a percentage of the width.

Step 2: Calculation Settings

Tire Revolutions Formula

Revolutions per mile = 63,360 ÷ (π × Tire Diameter in inches). Tire diameter is calculated as: Wheel Diameter + (2 × (Tire Width × Aspect Ratio ÷ 100) ÷ 25.4).

Revolutions Per Mile Formula

Revolutions per mile = 63,360 ÷ (π × Tire Diameter)

Tire diameter = Wheel diameter + 2 × (Tire Width × Aspect Ratio ÷ 100 ÷ 25.4). 63,360 is the number of inches in a mile (5,280 feet × 12 inches).
