The working
- 275/50R22: sidewall = 275 mm × 50% = 137.5 mm = 5.41 in.
- Diameter = rim + 2 × sidewall = 22 + 2 × 5.41 = 32.83 in (834 mm).
- Circumference = π × 32.83 = 103.1 in; revolutions per mile = 63,360 ÷ 103.1 = 614.
Where the 275/50R22 numbers come from
The section width is 275 mm (10.83 inches), and each sidewall is 50% of it: 137.5 mm, or 5.41 inches. Two sidewalls and the 22-inch rim make 32.83 inches (834 mm).
One turn covers π × 32.83 = 103.1 inches, so the tire turns 614 times a mile and 382 times a kilometer.
