Most are around 750 rpm large car tire to 1000 rpm for a 13 inch tire. And the bible has some revelations too

The number of "revalutions" depends on the tire size.

I agree with the others, it depends on the size of the tire. But I think you were asking how many rotations do my tires make when I go around a corner at 60 miles an hour and hit my brakes and go over a 500 foot cliff.
Its Zero and so are your chances of living.

I assume you mean in an hours time. It depends on how big the tire is. I know this is excessive but, if you had a tire with an outside diameter of a mile, it would rotate 60 times in that hour. Half mile tire 120 times. And so on.......

Using the formula of the circumference of a circle C= pi D^2, you would have to know the diameter of the tire to get the distance traveled in one revolution. Using distance as a product of rate and time, (d= r*t) calculate the number of revolutions to travel 60 miles in one hour. Don't wear out your calculator.

Say in 1 hour you will travel 60 miles, or about 5,280 ft X 60= 316,800 feet. If the tire has a radius of 24", the circumference is 2 X Pi X Radius = 2 X 3.14159 X 1 ft = 6.28 feet. Thus, in 60 minutes it would rotate 316,800 ft / 6.28 feet = 50,446 times or 50,446 / 60 minutes = 841 revolutions per minute (rpm).
The numbers are rough, but you get the idea.

It's revolutions for starters, and there are two answers to your question. Tire size isn't exactly correct. The height is the issue, width is not. 2ndly, when you are turning, the outer tire (opposite of the turn) is turning faster, conversely, the inside tires turn less, also, the tire on the inside circle of your turn has a different speed depending on if it is on the front or the rear because the front tire is on a different directional plane as it is "turned" while the rear one is still straight but is turning less than its buddy on the other side of the vehicle which is on the outside of the turn.
Do you want the equation that would give you the closest approximation based on your question????

It depends upon the size of the tire. A smaller tire would make more revolutions than a larger one.

I use 1/88, thats the conversion from feet to miles and minutes to hours. so rpm is wheel circumference times 1/88 divided into mph
24 in wheel = 6.2832 circumference x 1/88 = 0.0713997 divided into 60 = 840
also
840 axle rpm x ratio = engine rpm
3.0 = 2520 rpm

What's the radius of the tire? Then you can figure out it's circumference. Convert the 60mph into feet per second. And then it's simple to figure out how many times the tire turns each second (or minute or hour if that's what you want).
