What is tested

The calculation functions are pure and covered by automated unit tests in the repository. Tests check the formulas described in the methodology, unit conversions and rejection of invalid input.

This is verification of arithmetic. It is not a field study, and no vehicle measurements, certification or third-party audit are claimed.

What the numbers represent

  • Nominal dimensions from tire markings and wheel specifications.
  • Differences between two setups, not absolute clearance.
  • Theoretical values that assume a perfectly round tire at stated size.

Sources of difference
FactorEffect
Manufacturer varianceTires of the same marked size can differ in width and diameter.
Wheel widthSection width changes with the rim it is mounted on.
Load and pressureLoaded radius is smaller than nominal; wear reduces diameter.
Wheel designSpoke shape, brake clearance and flange profile are not modelled.
VehicleSuspension travel, steering lock and bodywork are not modelled.

Verification before purchase

Treat results as a way to compare options. Confirm fitment physically, check load and speed ratings, and follow local regulations. Automated arithmetic checks do not replace manufacturer specifications, physical measurements or professional verification.
