I keep thinking that this could be reduced further, but I can't see how. I'm probably completely wrong anyway.

The only comment I would make is that it's bad form to have an unnecessary fraction in the denominator, e.g. multiply top and bottom by 1270, making 80467200 / (pi.(xy + 1270z)).

Of course if this is the result of a textbook problem there's always the chance you just have the wrong answer. But the real world is full of awkward constants.

Yeah, that's probably what I was grasping for. Thanks.

It's not a textbook problem though. It's a calculation of the (nominal) rotations per mile for a given P- or LT-metric tire size.
