Given:

MPH = 60

Axle Ratio = 3.90

Trans Ratio = 1.00 (3 speed standard)

Tire circumference = 90.25" (converts to tire diameter = 28.72747" - rounded to nearest thousandth to 28.728" for entering into RPM calculator)

RPM = 2737 (rounded to nearest whole number)

(See screenshots below for "the math" - lol grin )
