Which Tyres and Wheels tool do you need?
| Tool | What it answers |
|---|---|
| Tire Comparison Calculator | Overall diameter of a metric tire is the rim size plus twice the sidewall, where sidewall = width × aspect ratio. |
| Tire Diameter Calculator | Overall tire diameter equals the rim diameter plus two sidewalls, where each sidewall is the section width times the aspect ratio. |
| Tire Pressure Calculator | Tire pressure changes with temperature because the air inside is a fixed volume of gas. |
| Tire Rotation Chart | Front-wheel-drive cars with non-directional tires use the forward cross: fronts move straight back, rears cross to the opposite front. |
| Tire Size Calculator | A metric tire size like 225/45R17 means a 225 mm section width, a sidewall 45% of that width, and a 17-inch rim. |
All tools
Tire Comparison Calculator
Compare two metric tire sizes side by side: overall diameter, sidewall height, revolutions per mile and the speedometer error a size change causes.
Tire Diameter Calculator
Convert a metric tire size such as 205/55R16 into overall diameter in inches and mm, plus sidewall height, circumference and revolutions per mile.
Tire Size Calculator
Decode a metric tire size such as 225/45R17 into sidewall height, overall diameter, circumference and revolutions per mile, or compare two sizes.
Tire Pressure Calculator
Work out how a tire's gauge pressure changes when the air temperature moves, in psi or kPa, using absolute pressure and Gay-Lussac's gas law.
