But if some one is running foams you need to caclute proper roll out and the takes into consideration tire diameter. IF everyone is running rubber then this is fine since most are 62-63mm in diameter but what if your running 60mm foams and im running 54mm? How do we compare ratios then? We need rollout. Your calculation is a final ratio calculation.

You're exactly right. I guess just multiply the rollout number (example: 7.0) times the tire diameter (54mm) and get a final rollout. I'm also running foams, now at about 59mm or so. So for me the rollout is 7 x 59 (413 mm), and you it would be 7 x 54 (378mm). Yes, I know my tires are too big .
