awhile back i found on here a tool that would help you compare tire sizes. you would put in the original tire size of the vehicle and then pick the size that you wanted to put on your vehicle and it would tell you speed variation show you the size diff and stuff liek that does anyone know where that is and could direct me to it???? thanks

A basic formula for calculating from one tire size to another is:

effective ratio = (old tire diameter / new tire diameter) x original ratio

actual mph = (new tire diameter / old tire diameter) x actual mph

This and a lot of other useful formulas can be found at:

I've bookmarked it, too! That's entertaining and fun but I have a low threshold!
