## What It Calculates
- Tire size comparison: Shows current and new tire diameter, section width, circumference, sidewall height, and revolutions per mile.
- Rim and sidewall context: Displays rim diameter separately from overall tire diameter so wheel changes do not get confused with tire height changes.
- Speed and gearing estimates: Calculates speedometer error, effective axle ratio, and highway RPM estimates from the tire size change.

## Summary
- The calculator accepts metric sizes like 265/70R17 and flotation sizes like 33x12.50R17.
- It compares tire diameter, section width, rim diameter, sidewall height, circumference, revolutions per mile, speedometer error, effective axle ratio, and highway RPM.
- Visual tire drawings scale the tire diameter and rim diameter from the calculated dimensions.

## FAQ
### How do I compare Tacoma tire sizes?
Enter the tire size currently on the truck and the size you want to test. The calculator compares tire diameter, width, rim diameter, sidewall, circumference, speedometer error, effective axle ratio, and highway RPM.

### Does changing Tacoma tire size affect the speedometer?
Yes. A taller tire travels farther per revolution, so the truck usually moves faster than the speedometer indicates. A shorter tire does the opposite.

### Why does rim size matter if overall tire height is the same?
Rim size changes sidewall height. Two tires can have the same overall diameter while one has more rim and less sidewall, which changes ride feel, trail comfort, and wheel protection.

### Does this tell me whether a tire will physically fit my Tacoma?
It gives sizing and comparison data, but physical fitment also depends on Tacoma generation, trim, suspension height, wheel offset, alignment, mud flaps, body mount clearance, and fender liner position.
