The math
| Step | Math | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Sidewall | 175 × 65% = 113.8 mm ÷ 25.4 | 4.48 in |
| Overall height | 14 + 2 × 4.48 | 22.96 in |
| Width | 175 mm ÷ 25.4 | 6.89 in |
| Circumference | π × 22.96 | 72.1 in |
| Revs per mile | 63,360 ÷ 72.1 | 878.5 |
With a 4.5 in sidewall this is a medium sidewall: a balance of cushion and response. Real tires vary by brand and model, and the loaded radius under the vehicle is a bit smaller than this unloaded figure.
