You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If the weight(W) of a car is directly proportional to the tire's circumference(C):
(W)/(C) = (W)/(C)
2 ton or 4000 lb car with a 32 inch circumference
Y/X = 4000/32
Y = 125X
Where the x-axis is the circumference of the tire
Where the y-axis is the pounds of the tire
+graph%28+600%2C+600%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+350%2C+y+=+125x+%29+
