HOW TO USE TIRELAB:
1) Set wheel sizes
2) Compare and visualize differences
Changing tires or rims on your vehicle? This is the app for you!
TireLab is an advanced, yet VERY easy to use, tire and wheel calculator that allows the manipulation of the multiple dimensions of several tire and wheel combinations. It allows professionals, enthusiasts, and weekend mechanics the ability to examine, compare, and visualize multiple tire and wheel configurations in real time.
Features:
1) Calculates, compares, and displays all key tire and wheel data points
TIRE
- Compatible rim sizes
- Diameter
- Difference
- Distance per revolution (circumference)
- Odometer error (difference in odometer)
- Radius
- Revolutions per mile
- Revolutions per kilometer
- Section (sidewall) height
- Section width (tire width)
- Size
- Speedometer error (difference in speed)
WHEEL
- Backspace
- Difference
- Offset
- Lip inset
- Size
2) Tire/wheel configuration fitment calculator
Provides the user the ability to identify vehicle fitment related issues that may potentially result from different tire and wheel configurations.
- Axel/ride height
- Brake component clearance
- Fender (outside) clearance
- Suspension (inside) clearance
- Wheelwell clearance
3) Intuitive and easy to navigate interface
TireLab provides for the ability to manipulate the key dimensions of both tires and wheels. If you desire to only utilize the tire modeling functionality you need only to adjust the tire measurements. All of the controls will automatically adjust to safe and compatible configuration thresholds.
4) Detailed scaled visual representations
View, and compare, detailed representations of tire and wheel configurations. A unique "cutaway view" of the wheel provides the user with the ability to visualize and compare key tire and wheel measurements for multiple configurations. In addition, a unique "tire view" permits the user the ability to visualize and compare scale representations of different tire configurations.
5) Tire compatibility display
Provides the user a list of compatible tire sizes and accurately indicates the differences in both tire width and tire diameter.
6) Tire and wheel technical reference
Provides the user the ability to view codes, definitions, and technical specifications.
-Tire construction
-Load Index chart
-Load Ranges
-Speed Ratings
-Tire types
-Temperature Grades
-Traction Grades
-Treadwear Grades
7) Tire and wheel technical glossary
Includes an extensive dictionary of tire and wheel technical terminology.
8) Imperial and Metric
Full Imperial (standard) and Metric support. All information is displayed in both Imperial and Metric units.
I just downloaded this app today and I must say it does it all! I love the cut-away view. It displays all the key tire and rim measurements! Additionally, there is a textual report that displays all of this info and more (like effects on the speedometer and appropriate rim sizes for the selected tire). This report also allows you to compare different tires and wheels.Another feature that I like is the tire compatibility report. It displays comparable/compatible tires which will certainly be useful in the shop.Finally this app provides a nice tehnical reference that displays things like traction, treadware, temp codes.
Lifesaver

This app is a true lifesaver! I used it to determine the exact offset required for my vehicle when I went from a 20"x9.5" rim to a 20"x13" rim. The calculations it provided me were dead on. It also helped me determine the exact aspect ratio required. It was a complete success as the tires and wheels are now on my vehicle and they fit perfectly and the speedometer error is exactly what this software predicted! I'm giving this app a 5 star rating because no other app even comes close to this one. Saved me lots of time and money (had I purchased an incorrect tire/wheel combination).

This is an amazing app! It's just what I've been looking for. However, I noticed what appears to be a small discrepancy In the way the graphs portray sidewall height or sidewall. In the reference area sidewall is described as the section between the tire bead and the tread. In the graph area, sidewall is shown to be the section between the tire tread and the lip of the wheel. This would give the illusion that the visible sidewall height is actually larger than it really is. Typically the flange or bead seat of the wheel which holds the bead of the tire, protrudes from the barrel approximately 1 inch or about 25 mm. The graphs show all of this of course but the measured distance for sidewall height is shown incorrectly. Other than this I really like this app
Wow!

I had no idea there was so many calculations needed when changing the wheels on your vehicle. This app not only does the math for you, it uses very nicely done graphical representations. I recommend this application to anyone that is thinking about changing the wheels or tires on their car or truck.
