I want to use a different wheel / tire combination...
How do I figure out how a different ratio will affect my engine RPM's?
Use this helpful guide to help you figure out your best combination.
What ratio I need to get my engine to turn "X" RPM's @ 60MPH?

For many of you, it may seem quite simple to figure out RPM's based on tire size, and road speed, but, what-the-heck.... I wanted to spice up my page with something constructive, and learn some programming at the same time.... I think it's better, and more constructive, than background music or changing the background color, but then, that's just my opinion...
Simply type in the "info" to find the "info" you need. Sorry, I only figured it for Miles Per Hour, but, as soon as I have time, and find the formula, maybe I will write a conversion program (If I remember correctly, there are approximately 25.4mm in an inch, multiply by 12, multiply by 5280, divide by 1000, divide by 1000 again... (anyone have a metric conversion sheet handy?...) sooooo, simply multiply 1.609344 by your MPH figure to get an approximate KM/H figure. That was fun...) Also, for simplicity (I need it as simple as I can get it...), I designed all of my calculations based on 60MPH (one mile a minute), so, if you want it figured out at a different speed, you will have to alter your figures (I could have made it more complex and had you type in a speed too, but, hey... It's my first attempt at a JavaScript program, and I had enough trouble with this one!!!
