Try this site.
Just click on technical details.

The table that comes up has all different data about all tyre sizes.
Hope this helps

This tyre size calculator is the best I have seen, and I have seen a few. Enjoy

Bonz,
The only Problem for me is that they don't go big enough... Ha Ha

Ozdyssey

Circumfrence = PI (3.14 approx) x Wheel Diameter

Wheel Diameter(mm) = (Tyre Width(mm) x Aspect ratio x 0.01 x 2) + (Rim diameter (in) x 26.4)

So for example a 235/85/16 tyre:

Wheel Diameter = (235 x 85 x 0.01 x 2) + (16 x 26.4)
= 399.5 + 422.4
= 821.9mm

Circumfrence = 3.14 x 821.9 = 2581mm = 2.581m

A second example 265/75/16

Wheel Diameter = (265 x 75 x 0.01 x 2) + (16 x 26.4)
= 397.5 + 422.4
= 819.8mm

Cicrumfrence = 3.14 x 819.8 = 2574mm = 2.574m

You could try putting all of this in to a MS-Excel spread sheet or if you email me at snowdenj@onesteel it would take me five minutes to throw one together and send it out to you.

Kind Regards

Bill I am not overly familiar with skinny tyres but I will assume you mean 7.5 inches wide not 750mm, ie 7.50/75 R16 LT

Tyre width 7.5 inches
Aspect Ratio 75
Rim Size 16 inch

7.5 inches x 26.4mm/inch = 198 mm tyre width

198mm x 75% = 148.5mm tyre wall height

16 inches x 26.4mm/inch = 422.4mm

148.5mm x 2 + 422.4 = 719.4mm total wheel diameter.

3.14 (PI) x 719.4 = 2260mm = 2.26m total tyre circumfrence.

Hope this helps.
