Definitions

Rolling Circumference - Rolling circumference is the distance a tire travels in one revolution

Interaxle Ratio - A FWD tractor uses both the front and rear tires to do the work. Since the front tires are smaller than the rear tires, the front tires must rotate faster to travel the same distance as the rear. The mechanical gear combination used to allow the front axle to move the tires at a faster speed is referred to as the interaxle ratio. The tractor manufacturer establishes the interaxle ratio.
