  • whats my tire height???

    i got 17" rims with 275 40 17 tires front and back. how the heck do you figure out the tire height. i am trying to correct my speedo and have no idea how to figure out my tire height.
    6s.......under the hood or under the belt, they just dont cut it.

    your speedo should be fine thats what I have and tested it against other people If its off it must be under 3mph off

      Like this:

      275 millimeters times .40 times 2

      divide that by 25.4 millimeters per inch

      add 17 inches

      equals 25.7 inches

      Or you can check the tire manufacturers websites

        your tire height with 275-40-17 is 25.6614 inches. stock tires(235-55-16) are 26.1771 inches. here's a few other combinations:

        245-50-16=25.6456
        245-45-17=25.6811
        255-45-17=26.0354
        285-40-17=25.9763
        315-35-17=25.6811
        315-30-18=25.4409
