145x80x10

It will be about 1084 Wheel Revs Per Mile,
which translates to 1485mm circumference.

There are calculators on the internet that use the rim diameter
and profile to calculate the circumference but BEWARE!

A tyre has a flat at the bottom where it sits on the ground
so most of these values are not valid.

The figure I give here was reverse-engineered from the official
Cooper 'S' speed of 16.08mph/1000rpm on a 3.444 diff.

It should be about as close as you are likely to get...

:?: Sportsrock - Previous post? No words..., just my quote!

The .pdf shows a 145x80x10 tyre with a 1490mm circumference.
This is only 0.3% different to my 1485mm.
