How results are calculated

Tire dimensions are calculated from the metric size format (width / aspect ratio / rim diameter). Diameter, circumference, and revolutions per mile are derived mathematically — no fitment or vehicle data is used.

The 3% rule is a general reference for acceptable diameter difference, not a guarantee. Always check your vehicle manual or consult a tire professional.
