Tire Size Conversion Explained

Tire Width Calculator

Tire width is measured at its thickest point, the distance between the inner sidewall’s and the outer sidewall’s widest point, also known as section width or tread width.

E.g. 235/70R15: Tire Width = 235 mm (9.6 In.)

Tire Sidewall Height Calculator

Tire Sidewall Height is measured from the rim to the outer edge of the tire’s tread, expressed as a percentage of tire width.

Sidewall Height = (Tire Width*Aspect Ratio)/100

E.g. 235/70R15: Sidewall Height = (275*70)/100 = 192.5 mm (7.6 in.)

Rim/Wheel Height Calculator

Rim/Wheel Height is measured from the rim to the outer edge of the tire’s tread, expressed as a percentage of tire width.

E.g. 235/70R15 Rim Height = 15 In.

Tire Diameter Calculator


Tire Diameter is measured from the bottom to the highest point at the top of a tire through its exact center when inflated and no load.

Tire Diameter = Rim Height + 2*Sidewall Height

E.g. 235/70R15: Tire Diameter = 15 + 2*7.6 = 30.2 In.

Tire circumference Calculator

Tire circumference is measured of the distance the tire covers in one full rotation.

Circumference = Tire Diameter x 3.14

E.g. 235/70R15: Circumference = 30.2*3.14 = 94.8 In.

Tire Revolutions Calculator

The performs revs/mile. Revolutions per mile indicate the number of times a tire rotates while it covers the distance of one mile.

Revs/mile = 63,360/Circumference

E.g. 235/70R15: Revs/mile = 63,360/94.8 = 668.4
