Enter the right side tire circumference (in) and the left side tire circumference (in) into the Tire Stagger Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Tire Stagger. 

Tire Stagger Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Tire Stagger.

TS = RS - LS

Variables:

  • TS is the Tire Stagger (in)
  • RS is the right side tire circumference (in) 
  • LS is the left side tire circumference (in) 

To calculate a tire stagger, simply subtract the left side tire circumference by the right side tire circumference.

How to Calculate Tire Stagger?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Tire Stagger.


  1. First, determine the right side tire circumference (in). 
  2. Next, determine the left side tire circumference (in). 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = TS = RS – LS.
  4. Finally, calculate the Tire Stagger.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

right side tire circumference (in) = 32

left side tire circumference (in) = 30

TS = RS – LS = ?
