RE: Need a mathematical genius to answer my question
When I had that problem w/ my 04 I just started trying different numbers and had the wife clock me and it took 4 times settling w/ 850 to match her speed.

I'm no genius, I use an online tire calculator.

Although, some tires of the same size have different revs/mile. Why, I don't know. ...

Example
Stock 18 BFG's are 9.5/32 of an inch.
My replacement tires have 11/32 of rubber.
Got pics of the car with those tires mounted? Thats gotta look funny.

Actually I just checked tire rack for the same size tires and they're saying about 830-835 revs for my size. I suppose it varies slightly on tread-pattern, and perhaps manufacturer.....but the amount of psi I put in it will change that as well. I think I'll just set it at 835 and call it good. Thanks for your help guys.
