And the formula is:
RPM = mph(OD ratio x rear gear ratio) x 336 / tire height
OR
RPM = 70 (.71 x 3.73) x 336 / 31.8
= 70 (2.6483) x 336 /31.8
= 62288.016 / 31.8
RPM = 1958.743
RPM = 65 (.7 x 3.73) x 336 /31.8
= 65 (2.6483) x 336 /31.8
= 57838.872 / 31.8
RPM = 1818.83
this should be purty close assuming OD ratio is .71, rear gear ratio is 3.73, and tire height is 31.8.
