Quick formula for working out Revs Per Minute and Ratios to Road Speed.
eg: at 7,000 Rpm in top gear road speed of 300km/h
First we need to know the tyre circumference in meters:
eg: 275/40 x 20 Tyre and Wheel
work out wheel and tyre diameter first
Tyre width = 275mm
Tyre Profile = 40% x 275mm = 110mm
110mm top and bottom of the wheel =220mm
+ the Wheel diameter
(20 inches wheel dia x 25.4 = 508mm)
220 + 508 = 728mm Total wheel diameter.
x Pi (3.14159) to get the circumference = 2287mm divded by 1000 to get to meters = 2.287 meters of tyre circumference on a 275/40 x 20 tyre.
2.287m
Now the rest is simple.
RPM / Gear Ratio / Diff Ratio x Tyre Circumference x 60 / 1000 = Km/h
RPM divided by Gear Ratio divided by Diff Ratio multiplied by Tyre circumference multiplied by 60 divided by 1000 = Km/h
eg: 2200 rpm / 0.76 gear ratio / 4.10 diff ratio x 2.288 tyre circumference x 60 time / 1000 distance = 96.9 Km/h or
1000 rpm / 0.76 gear ratio / 4.10 diff ratio x 2.288 tyre circumference x 60 time / 1000 distance = 44 Km/h x 2.2 for 2200 rpm = 96.9
I hope you like this formula, its good for working out speedo change with tyre size change or for racing purposes.
