...it depends...
my viper goes 165 km/h (approx. 100 miles/hour) at 2000 rpm
in 6th gear.

Ron,
2,000 rpm in 6th with 3.54 gears should be ~85 mph. <FONT size="-2">(That's what it should show if the speedo calibration device dips are set correctly)</FONT s>

355 /25.4 * 35 / 100 * 2 + 17 = 26.78" calculated diameter.

Measure the tire and I'll bet it's closer to 25.5".

Several months ago I did the math and found the chart below was “off”. Then I measured the tire diameter and found that the measured diameter was an inch less than the calculated diameter. The reason? Well, who else to ask but John Purner? He told me: <FONT COLOR="Blue">"Tire manufactures prerogative, they should spec higher. Most manufactures just widen the 315 * 35 mold, hence the less than calculated diameter."</FONT c>

The chart is correct.
