Tire Size/RPM/Ratio Chart

The following chart shows engine rpm at 60 mph for various combinations of final drive ratio and tire diameter. If you want to determine rpm at a speed other than 60, or for a combination of ratio and tire size not indicated here, the formula is:

MPH x Drive Ratio X 336 = RPM
Tire Diameter

If you'd like to know your speed at a given rpm, the formula is:

RPM x Tire Diameter X 336 = MPH
Drive Ratio x 336

In both cases, "336" is simply a constant to convert the tire diameter to the linear distance the tire travels.

To determine your vehicle's engine rpm with its present tires, simply measure the diameter with a tape measure. If the tires have a convex tread surface, be sure to allow for it when you measure them.
