Tire Size Calculator ( can we make it a sticky? )

I found this tire size calculator online & apparently its already on the Tacoma Forum, I see a ton of tire size question threads & thought this would be a good thing to sticky

Don't mean to be rude but (performance zone) !! There

It is really simple math. I don't see a need for a sticky.

Exactly...Takes me less then 20 seconds to figure it out.

It's like one of those mpg calculators....WHY? Just divide miles driven by gallons entered.

Now a mortgage calculator...that's a little different. Those are very handy.

its in the performance zone, aside from that its easy math as already stated.

265/65/R17

first number = tread width in milometers
second number = the percent of the thread width that equals the side wall height. (so 65% of 265 = side wall height)
last number is the diameter of the rim

convert the first number to inches by multiplying it by: .039375

265mm = 10.4in.
mulitply 10.4 by .65 = 6.7 (=side wall height)
to get the height of the tire multiply the side wall height by 2 and add the diameter of the rim
so a 265/65/R17 = 30.5" x 10.4" tire.
