2. Wheel sizing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_sizing

   Another setup option of staggered wheel fitment is called double staggered, having smaller diameter narrow width wheels in the front with larger diameter and wider width wheel in the back. For example, a vehicle may feature 18 in × 8 in (460 mm × 200 mm) wheels in front and 19 in × 10 in (480 mm × 250 mm) in the rear.

3. Hoosier Racing Tire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoosier_Racing_Tire

   Hoosier Racing Tire was founded in 1957 in Lakeville, Indiana by stock car racer Robert Newton, and Joyce Newton. Newton wished to design a faster tire compound to gain an advantage against fellow racers. This was done by retreading street tires in order to obtain a compound that would adequately gain enough traction.

4. ISO 5775 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_5775

   It is designed to make tire sizing consistent and clear. It replaces overlapping informal systems that ambiguously distinguished between sizes. For example, at least 6 different "26 inch" sizes exist (just by American notation), and "27 inch" wheels have a larger diameter than American "28 inch" (French "700C") wheels.

5. Plus sizing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plus_sizing

   The number following the "plus" describes the number of inches which is added to the diameter of the rim. For example, plus one sizing means increasing the wheel by 1 inch (25 mm) – i.e. from a 15 to 16 in (380 to 410 mm) rim size. A "plus zero" upgrade means changing to a wider tire size while using the same diameter wheel.

6. Tire code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

   If a tire size has three sets of numbers (15x6.00-6, 26x12.00-12, 31x15.50-15), then the first number (26x12.00-12) is the approximate tire diameter in inches, the second number (26x12.00-12) is the approximate width in inches, and the third number (26x12.00-12) is the rim diameter in inches.

7. Gear inches - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_inches

   For example, consider a 700c × 23 mm tire, which has a nominal cross-section of 23 mm. 700c wheels have a rim diameter of 622 mm. Hence the wheel diameter is (2 × 23 mm) + 622 mm = 668 mm which is equal to 26.3 inches (rounded to 1 decimal place). 26 inch mountain bicycle wheels have a rim diameter of 559 mm. This ignores factors that ...
