    If there is no slipping or skidding going on, then for each revolution, the tire rolls along the ground a distance equal to the tire's circumference.

    Circumference of the tire = 2 · π · Radius.

    During the same revolution, the small stone stuck in the tread travels in a big semicircular arc that's (2 · π · r) long. (roughly 6.28r)
