Default Help quick! Revs per mile

Hey fellas, I'm getting tuned on wednesday and want to adjust my speedo for my 4.10s. I pretty sure I'm gonna need the revs per mile of my tires (285-35-18 vredestein ultrac sessenta) in order to calibrate my speedo. Does someone know this info for the tires or know where I can find it? Thanks

You only need look up the size of tire to find its diameter...

The 285/35/18" tire = 25.9" diameter @ 803 RPM

Your tuner will need to know the above info along with the 4:10 gears and you will be golden

Wouldn't hurt to tell him both, but RPM would be more likely to help. Will certainly need to know the rear gears as well.
