Sources and calculation notes

235/75R15 has a nominal width of 235 mm and an estimated outside diameter of 28.88 inches. Actual tire dimensions vary by manufacturer and operating conditions.

Method: Sidewall height in mm = width × aspect ratio / 100. Estimated diameter in mm = rim inches × 25.4 + 2 × sidewall height; circumference = π × diameter.

Scope: Actual inflated size and rolling circumference vary by product, load, pressure and wear. Fitment also requires clearance, rim width, load and speed checks.
