Way easier than my "over fifty" math version:

Convert tire width from metric to SAE (inches)
Divide aspect ratio into width. (inches)
Double the width figure (in inches)
Add wheel diameter
This gives you overall diameter in inches
Multiply this figure by 3.14 to give you rolling circumference, again in inches.

Wheeew, that was a lot of math......use the earlier method and go have a beer !
