Re: TJ Tire Size
I got it.
I wrote an Excel calculator that lets me plug in the tire dimensions and
arrive at the outside diameter. I just didn't know the dimensions of the
Rubi's tires, and I thought they worked out to 32", not 31".
Try this formula with your calculator
<tire size, 225, etc.> * <aspect ratio, 70, 75, etc.> * 2 / 25.4 + <rim
diameter, 15, 16, etc.> The result is the overall diameter.
If you created a new Excel ------ sheet, you could label the A column as
Size, the B column as Aspect Ratio, and the C column as Rim, and the D
column as Outside Diameter. The D column would get the formula =((A2*B2)*2 /
25.4 + C2)
The result in the D cells would be the diameter of the tires you are
interested in.
TIP
Highlight the D2 cell, and drag the handlebar straight down to apply the
formula with the approriate alterations to account for the Rows involved.

Re: TJ Tire Size
I got it.
I wrote an Excel calculator that lets me plug in the tire dimensions and
arrive at the outside diameter. I just didn't know the dimensions of the
Rubi's tires, and I thought they worked out to 32", not 31".
Try this formula with your calculator
<tire size, 225, etc.> * <aspect ratio, 70, 75, etc.> * 2 / 25.4 + <rim
diameter, 15, 16, etc.> The result is the overall diameter.
If you created a new Excel ------ sheet, you could label the A column as
Size, the B column as Aspect Ratio, and the C column as Rim, and the D
column as Outside Diameter. The D column would get the formula =((A2*B2)*2 /
25.4 + C2)
The result in the D cells would be the diameter of the tires you are
interested in.
TIP
Highlight the D2 cell, and drag the handlebar straight down to apply the
formula with the approriate alterations to account for the Rows involved.
