Why invent the wheel again and do it with errors?
Low speed rpm are different than rpm at 60 mph.
That is why manufacturers list rpm at set speed.
RPM by convention is usually reserved for revolutions per minute . Tire manufactures use the term revs.per mile in their specs . I have yet to see a manufacturer who states the speed at which they determined the revs.per mile of a particular tire . If you know of one please identify .
I believe the common rating is at about 60 mph.
I have seen manufacturer site showing a chart with rpms at different speeds, but that was for high-performance tire.
Here is more info tire RPM
As you can see on this topic, the knowledge about tires rpm is very low and I am meeting lot of performance car owners who have no clue how to match staggered tires.
About adding new side-topic after the original post was resolved.
That tread would be long dead without them. Think about it.
