Hello,
is the formula for tire diameter 185 x % x 2divided by 25.4 + 14
let say 185.80.14 |
| | |
widht
| | |
ratio | |
185 x 80% x 2
Convert mm |
148 x 2 =296mm to
inches |
|
296 / 25.4= 11.653
inches Wheel
diameter
11.653 + 14 inches =25.65 inches Overall diameter
205 70 14
205x70% = 143.5
143.5 x 2 =287 mm
287 / 25.4 =11.299
11.299+ 14 inches = 25.299 Overall Diameter
On my westie i have 205 70 14
I didn't notice a lot a difference on the speedo betwen 185/ 80 to 205/
70
I think bentley shop manual say in fourth gear you have 18 mile per
hour by
1,000 rpm so at 4,000 rpm you should be around 70 or 72 mph
I'm just betwen these two
