- Does compressing the tire change the circumference? I don't think so. Can anyone measure the circumference of their tires and report the length? This should give a good average. There is also an expa

- I think somewhere in the archives there is more information about tire sizes. The stock Alpine tires were 5.50 x 13 or 5.90 x 13. These were 82 series tires so the diameter is (0.82 x 2 plus 13 = 22.

- I just rechecked the Coker Tire site. They do not have 5.60 or 5.90's, but they do have the 6.00-13. They are B.F. Goodrich Silvertowns and the diameter is given as 23.78". It appears the aspect rati

- Wouldn't the rolling diameter be less since the tire is compressed? Could it be possible that some people are using true diameter to calculate while others are using rolling diameter? Ron Tebo

- Hi all: the actual difference between "actual" and "rolling" is not a significant factor in this equation. Assuming 1 inch of "compression" while rolling, there is not a significant difference in mph

- Hello all too There is also an expansion factor as the tyre speeds up, and enlarges due to "centrifugal effects". According to a book I have this is .02% per mph, so at 60 mph would be 1.2%, or the b

- No, I'm suggesting that the rolling diameter of a radial would be less than it's true diameter because of it's compression when on the car. The same idea would be less true with a bias-ply because o
