B9 = Section Width
D9 = Aspect Ratio
F9 = Rim Diamter

It's basically the same as yours, EXCEPT for the last multiplication. This actually reduces the number of revs per mile and therefore increase the speed for a given RPM. I believe it was the original desginers intention to account for growth in the tire as a function of heat/pressure and rotational inertia.

However, my sheet also inlucdes a big reduction when calculating the speed for a given tire/axle/gear @ RPM x.

=((D18/(B21*B28*H9))*60)*0.97

D18= RPM (shift or redline, or whatever you want to put in, I'm assuming 6k)
B21=Gear ratio
B28=Axle ratio
H9=tire revs per mile

The final multiplication is an additional reduction I forgot about. If I had to guess it's for nonlockup auto trans, but that's just a guess. Thanks for the catch.

I'll take out these constants for future calculations so we're comparing apples to apples.
Quit bench racing. So your off 1mph or so. The traps will tell the truith.
