Taco Tires

Cruising RPM

Estimate your Tacoma highway RPM.

Enter tire size, axle ratio, and top-gear ratio to see cruising RPM and judge whether a regear is worth it.

In short

Estimates engine RPM at a road speed from tire diameter, axle ratio, and transmission top-gear ratio.

  • Uses the standard RPM equation with the 336.135 constant derived from 63,360 inches per mile.
  • Helps decide whether a tire or gearing change leaves the engine lugging or buzzing at highway speed.

What it does

How this tool helps.

Highway RPM

Calculates engine RPM at a range of speeds from tire diameter, axle ratio, and transmission gear.

Regear planning

Compare RPM before and after a tire change to see how much a numerically higher axle ratio would help.

Tacoma presets

Factory axle ratios and transmission top-gear ratios by generation are built in.
