USING SIZE 235/35-19 FOR EXAMPLE
The dimensions of a 235/35-19 tire are
9.3” wide (section width) & 25.5” tall (outside dia)
The section width is 235mm wide
(There are 25.4mm to an inch)
STEP 1) 235mm divided by 25.4” = 9.25” (section width)
STEP 2) Multiply 9.25 (section width) by .35 (aspect ratio)
9.25 x .35 = 3.24” (section height)
To find the outside diameter
Multiply 3.24 (section height) x 2 then add rim diameter
STEP 3) 3.24” x 2 = 6.48” + 19.0” = 25.48” round out to 25.5” (outside dia)
