Post Tire Dia/Gear/RPM/MPH spreadsheet

The F1's on my Lightning are being replaced with Yokohama's 295/35/18's. I wanted to see what the differences where throughout the RPM range and created this spreadsheet. It's an excel spreadsheet and is locked without a password, so you can make changes. If you don't want to make changes, you won't have to worry about messing up the formulas.

Since the topic comes up often, feel free to use it.

After opening the following link, either right click or click and hold the mouse down on the file "Speed_RPM.xls" and choose "Download Link to Disk". Netscape and other browsers are similar.
Speed_RPM.xls

Your welcome!

We got two RR's now. Blazer (CH Westwood's Trail Blazer, JC) and his granddaughter, Mysti (Westwood's Mystique Mont Cheri). No pix of Mysti yet, only videos (Playtime).

Mysti hasn't been in the Lightning yet, but Blazer has. I got him a harness so he's protect from the windshield, in case...

Regards,

Spike

Exclamation

I posted an electronic tire size calculator that offers similar info to the spreadsheet. The tire calc will tell you the diameter of your tires if you input the sidewall size. You can then input those into the spreadsheet.

Thumbs up

Nice spreadsheet. Thanks!

I've been thinking of going in the opposite direction with the larger Nitto 305/55's, so this will be very helpful.
