I suggest you look it up directly for the specific tire you want. for example:

Correct.
(5280x12)/cir in inches= revs per mile.

Remember this is calculated though. It does not work in extra tread for AT tires or the amout of sidewall buldge from the weight of the vehicle. If you go to a site like tirerack or the tire manufactures site they usually give the revs for each tire. Two tires of the same size can have different revs per mile.

Lots of online calculaters so you don't have to do the math. Here's two of them:

why in the heck do they even mark tires like that? and when all of a sudden do they do it for trucks?

i think its just much easier if someone says 35" x 12.5". better and easier than 315/75r17.

I agree with bf250

Why make it so complicated?

Most of the time it's best to keep things simple.......Keep it simple.........Keep it simple........keep it simple.........Whoops sorry the record is skipping (for those of us that remember records)
