Formula & How It Works

Tire size code (e.g. 205/55R16)

Section width = 205 mm; aspect ratio 55 → sidewall = width × 55%
Rim diameter = 16 in × 25.4 = 406.4 mm
Overall diameter = rim + 2 × sidewall; circumference = π × diameter
Rule: keep diameter change within ±3% or the speedometer and ESP suffer

Example: 205/55R16 → sidewall 112.75 mm, diameter 631.9 mm, circumference ≈ 1.985 m.
