    a very easy way to remember it is the way of considering the weight of the wheel and tire x pi.

    22lb wheel and tire x 3.14... =69.08lbs

    thats actually how much weight it takes to turn the front wheels.

    How does weight correspond with pi? You're missing several variables and pi will never be used with weight, you would only used it to determine the circumference of a wheel & tire to determine the mass...

    Don't you mean torque required to turn the wheel?
