How this tire size calculator works

Sidewall height equals width × aspect ratio. Two sidewalls plus wheel diameter produce overall tire diameter; circumference is π × diameter.

How to use it

  1. Tire width. Enter the value in mm.
  2. Aspect ratio. Enter the value in %.
  3. Wheel diameter. Enter the value in in.
  4. Request the result. Add your email, then select “Email & show my result.”

What to do with the number

Actual mounted diameter varies slightly by tire model, rim width, load and wear. Use manufacturer revolutions-per-mile data when exact speedometer or gearing calculations matter.

Planning estimate

Use this result as a starting point, not a guarantee. Product specifications, site conditions, manufacturer guidance, local codes, taxes, labor, tolerances, and rounding can change the real requirement or cost.
