MPH Calculator at any given gear and RPM
« on: January 27, 2014, 05:08:59 pm »
FYI - I know this info has been shared before but I'm not sure with the Max MPH at rev limit.  You can also use what ever RPM for a given rear and gear.

Little Math

MPH (miles per hour) = ((tire circumference in inches) x (RPM) x 60) / ((Final Ratio ) x 63360)

Many tire web site have tire circumference calculator for any given tire size.

The Federal tire size of 205/60R13 shows a circumference of 71.2"

Example: To find MPH at 8,000 RPM in 4th gear with a 4.1 rear:
        MPH = (71.2 x 8,000 x 60) / (9.26 x 63360) = 34,176,000 / 586,713.6 = 58.25 MPH
