I think its circumference.

photon336 · Answer

I'm pretty sure that's circumference rotation would be more suitable for that,

anonymous · Answer

okay thanks. (:

amistre64 · Answer

Either one would do ...

A = pi r r

A = 2pi r r/2 

A = C r/2

C= 2A/r

photon336 · Answer

why would area also work for this?

pawanyadav · Answer

I think circumference should be right

amistre64 · Answer

because Area and Circumference are related but you conventionally use Circumference.

amistre64 · Answer

If you explicitly know the Area of the tire, you implicitly know its Circumference

photon336 · Answer

from that point it's much clearer now

unklerhaukus · Answer

The circumference of a tire is easily measured.
