Nope! But if you are trying to work out the revs per mile it is 798 according to the Toyo Tech Data Book

I have found that the most accurate way to work out revs per mile is to use a bit of driveway and a piece of chalk! The cals are reasonable but can be quite different as tyre pressures vary the rolling circumference more than you would think.

Mark the tire and the ground with the chalk and drive through two revolutions of the tyre, mark the ground again and measure the distance.

Divide the measurement by two and this gives you a pretty accurate measurement.
