Wondering how many times your tire rotates every mile? Use this free Tire Revolutions Per Mile (RPM) Calculator to get an accurate answer based on your tire size.
Tire Revolutions Per Mile Calculator
Enter your tire size to calculate revs per mile.
This is especially useful when:
- Installing different-sized tires
- Recalibrating your speedometer
- Swapping gears or axles
- Tuning for performance or fuel mileage
How to Use
Just enter three numbers from your tire’s sidewall:
- Tire width (like 275 mm)
- Aspect ratio (like 65%)
- Rim diameter in inches (like 18″)
The calculator will show how many revolutions per mile your tire makes.
Why RPM Matters
Your vehicle’s transmission, speedometer, and odometer are all tuned to a specific tire diameter. If your new tires are bigger or smaller than stock, your readings will be off. Knowing your exact revolutions per mile helps with:
- Correcting speed readings
- Getting accurate fuel economy
- Choosing the right gear ratio for towing, off-roading, or highway driving
Example
Let’s say your tire is 275/65R18:
- Total diameter ≈ 32.1 inches
- That equals about 633 revolutions per mile
If your factory tires did 675 RPM, your speedometer may read low, meaning you’re going faster than it says.
