here ya go
215/230 x 100 = 93.478
93.478 is the percentage number that u changed your tires by, an easy way to
estimate the speed is take 100% - 93.478% = 6.522 + 100 = 106.522 (the
overall percentage increase in tires size, now take that number stick it
back into percentages by dividing it by 100, u get 1.06522
take whatever speed u want and multiply it by 1.06522 and u get your true
speed!
sorry if i confused u by all the different (mostly unnecessary formulas, but
if u aren't very good at math i tried to make it as easy to understand as
possible by doing that!
