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
Wheel & Tire Calculator FAQs:
How important is tire width?
The tire width will affect noise level, grip, comfort, and handling. Replacing with wider tires may improve your car’s grip and handling but it can also increase rolling resistance and decrease fuel efficiency.
How much tire size difference is acceptable?
As a rule, you can replace the tire within a 3% difference in tire diameter (height) of the OEM tire size. It’s better to consult with the tire mechanic before deciding to switch to a smaller or large tire size. You may refer to our Tire Size Chart and Tire Size Comparison to determine the suitable tire size for your vehicle.
What is the difference between wheel size and tire size?
Wheel/rim size refers to the diameter and width of the wheel/rim itself, while tire size refers to the diameter, width, and aspect ratio of the tire mounted on the wheel/rim.
