Calculation method

Calculation method

Nominal unloaded tire diameter (mm)

Rim inches×25.4+2×section width×aspect/100.

Nominal circular circumference (mm)

pi×nominal diameter, not measured loaded rollout.

Nominal sidewall height (mm)

Width×aspect/100.

Nominal rim diameter (mm)

Inches×25.4 exactly as a unit definition.

Nominal revolutions per km

1,000,000 mm/nominal circumference.

Symbols and units
a
Nominal tire section width (mm)
b
Nominal aspect ratio (%)
c
Nominal rim diameter (inches)

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Nominal sidewall-marking geometry only. Actual loaded rolling circumference, tire construction, rim compatibility and vehicle suitability require measurements/specifications and are not inferred.
