Calculates tyre dimensions from the sidewall markings — e.g. 205/50/R15. Enter the three numbers from your tyre to get overall diameter, loaded radius, rolling circumference and speedo correction factor.

Tyre Markings

Enter the three numbers from your tyre sidewall. Example: 205 / 50 / R15

205
/
50
/
R15
Section width from bead to bead in millimetres
Sidewall height as a percentage of the section width
Wheel/rim diameter in inches

Results

Overall diameter (mm)
Overall diameter (in)
Static radius (mm)
Loaded radius (mm) approx.
Rolling circumference (mm) — used for speedo calibration
Sidewall height (mm)
Sidewall height (in)
Loaded radius is the static radius minus an approximate deflection. Low profile tyres (≤45) deflect less (~10mm) than standard profiles (~20–25mm). This is an estimate — actual deflection depends on load and pressure.
