The working
- 225/75R16: sidewall = 225 mm × 75% = 168.8 mm = 6.64 in.
- Diameter = rim + 2 × sidewall = 16 + 2 × 6.64 = 29.29 in (744 mm).
- Circumference = π × 29.29 = 92.0 in; revolutions per mile = 63,360 ÷ 92.0 = 689.
Where the 225/75R16 numbers come from
The section width is 225 mm (8.86 inches), and each sidewall is 75% of it: 168.8 mm, or 6.64 inches. Two sidewalls and the 16-inch rim make 29.29 inches (744 mm).
One turn covers π × 29.29 = 92.0 inches, so the tire turns 689 times a mile and 428 times a kilometer.
