Rolling Radius of Loaded Driving Tyre

IMPERIAL
METRIC
Rolling Radius of Loaded Driving Tyre Rolling Radius of Loaded Driving Tyre
The rolling radius of loaded driving tyre is 168 times the overall gear reduction times the miles per hour divided by the engine speed.

Where:
168 = Factor
RPM = Revolutions per minute of the motor
r = Rolling radius of loaded driving tyres in
inches
R = Overall gear reduction including both axle and transmission

 

Example:
Find the rolling radius of loaded driving tyre of a vehicle where the overall gear reduction is 10, the miles per hour 15 and the engine speed 1680 RPM.

The rolling radius of loaded driving tyre is 2651.51 times the overall gear reduction times the kilometres per hour divided by the engine speed.

Where:
2651.51 = Factor
RPM = Revolutions per minute of the motor
r = Rolling radius of loaded driving tyres in millimetres
R = Overall gear reduction including both axle and transmission
 

Example:
Find the rolling radius of loaded driving tyre of a vehicle where the overall gear reduction is 10, the kilometres per hour 20 and the engine speed 1500 RPM.
