Your car came equipped with 17 inch radius tires.

\n" ); document.write( "When you think your speed is 60 mph, How fast are you really going?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The circumference is directly proportional to the diameter to the wheel
\n" ); document.write( "Let s = speed with 20\" wheels
\n" ); document.write( "\"17%2F20\" = \"60%2Fs\"
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "17s = 20*60
\n" ); document.write( "s = \"1200%2F17\"
\n" ); document.write( "s = 70.6 mph
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Figure the number of inches per revolution of the tire to the mph.
\n" ); document.write( "c = \"20%2Api\"
\n" ); document.write( "c = 62.832 inches per revolution
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "How many Revolutions would it take in one hour to cover 60 mile
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2860%2A5280%2A12%29%2F62.832\" = 60,504.2 revolutions (with a 20\" wheel)
