tire diameter
(OP)
Hi Guys
I am a new member, and I am really happy to join you guys. I am trying to prove that if we change the tire diameter to a bigger one we will accelerate faster than the default one. Please guys if you have some formula, equation, or statistics to prove that, I will appreciate it.
I hope to hear from you soon

RE: tire diameter
That should only happen if the default tire is lacking in traction. If neither one slips, and all else is equal, the bigger diameter tire should accelerate slightly slower. The only other thing that might make a difference is if the gearing is way off.

RE: tire diameter
Standing tire radius x RPM /final drive ratio x 168 = MPH
This is good until you run out of horsepower and since horsepower is a product of torque and RPM, a larger tire may lower your rpm and horsepower enough to actually be slower.

You may want to try finding a "Tire Calculator". I like the one at:
www.1010tires.com
The problem with most tire calculators is that the rolling diameter of a tire is 3% smaller than the physical diameter, however, the one at 1010tires takes this into account.
