Ok guys, we have been having simultaneous discussions of tires and their measurements on the Spridgets list and the MG list. The questions were about diameters, radii and circumference -- both loaded

All I know is that bicycle speedometers want you to mark where the wheel touches the ground on both the wheel and the ground, roll it forward with your weight on the bike until the mark touches the g

My experiment, after I asked Paul for more explanation, was this: Wrapped one turn of wire around a tennis ball, squeezed the ball against the table, noted that the wire _was_ then loose and could b

Well, to get my shot in at this dead horse; check any mathematical formula for calculating the distance traveled by rotation of an object and you will see the one constant in all the formulae is circ

I can't give you the formula unless/until I work it out, but using the circumfrence of the tire as the amount traveled in one wheel revolution is the best way to accuratly measure this. The way I use

By chance I just did something very similar, and the results are like yours that is somewhere between the two theoretical possibles. The circumference of my tyre is 1940mm regardless of whether it is

Tennis ball won't work as it's material expands or contracts depending on pressures. A tire has a belt (usually steel) that keeps the circumference from changing length. Regards, Blake

Run this through everyone's think tank. Most radial tires have a steel belt under the tread. That belt's circumference never changes. But the rubber tread over the belt has a thickness of say 3/4 inc
