Tire Calculator

Howdy all from Missouri...

I'm getting ready to buy some new tires, but I kept having to calculate the circumference, to see how it would affect the speedo, so I just finished an online version, which does it for me automatically, so I thought I might share it with y'all.

If you think there are things I should change to make it better, post a follow-up, and I'll see what I can do. I haven't actually measured my tires yet to see how a loaded tire differs from the theoretical calculations, but it should give a good rough idea.
