The formula for tire diameter is as follows- Example (215/70-VR15) 215 is width in millimeters. divide that by 25.4 inches and you get tire width (8.46 inches) Take the tire width 8.46 times the aspect ratio (70) and you come up with the tire section or 5.93 inches. Add up tire section times 2 plus the rim size and you have the total diameter 5.93+5.93+15.00=26.86 tire dia. This works for any tire and rim combination.
