No, no, no.
Then the wheel would need to roll a mile in one RPM.
Oh Woops

That wouldnt matter as thats how wide the tyre is not how big the profile is, hence not effecting 1 RPM of the wheel Wrong? I'll get my coat

ok im going to write this down
a 16'' wheel with 195/45 tyre
195/100*45 = 87.75mm = 3.454 inches
so 16 + 3.454 = 19.454 inches * pi (as we all know is 3.14159265)
= 61.1165435 inches i.e. the circumference
