Uniroyal Tiger Paw Touring 225/60R16 BSW/FN 98H #01451
Treadwear: 560; Traction: A; Temperature: A; Tread Depth: 10.5/32; Max Load: 1653@44psi
Overall Diameter: 26.65; RevsPerMile: 782 (effective diameter 25.79")
Rim Width Range: 6" - 8" ; Section Width: 9" on 6.5" wide rim
These were ~$350 for 4, and I mounted & balanced them myself at a shop where I used to work.
According to
Liquid's calculator, the gray 19-tooth driven gear & 8-tooth drive gear in the car should make the speedo nearly perfect with these tires' diameter. But it's almost 10% high at highway speeds. Turns out the ROLLING diameter is much lower (back-calculated from the RevsPerMile). So I've now swapped to a 20-tooth driven gear to get it closer (~4%).
