Tire size x pinion divided by spur gear. To get tire size, you can either measure the circumference with a thin tape measure,(around the tire)or most racers use calipers to measure the diameter and multiply that by pi (3.14)

Tire x 3.14 x pinion divided by spur.

Pin * TireDiameter * 3.14159 / Spur = RO

RO * Spur / 3.14159 / TireDiameter = Pin

You can also get a rollout chart at www.gearchart.com , if you choose the "target rollout" option it will give you one chart with the pinion changes you need as your tire diameter decreases to keep the same rollout.
