That's a neat calculator. I wish it would allow you to use tire sizes in inches, but oh well... I just used the metic size closest to my tires (315/70-r17 in place of 35x12.50-r17). my results are as expected... 4.56's to be decent all around, and 4.88's if I want to pull stumps.

Note:
to those with rims larger than 19" the calculator will not accomodate.
