> Is there a rule of thumb on difference between effective tire >radius/circumference and unloaded circumference?
Tire manufacturers often specify revolutions per mile at a specific speed in their spec charts. If your tires are a readily available popular size, that could be of help. I just looked at B F Goodrich's website and they give the revs per mile at 45 mph. If your size isn't listed, try doing a "roll out" measurement. Mark the tire and move the car until the tire has made about 10 revolutions and divide the distance by number of revs to get an average circumference. Divide by pi to get the effective diameter.
