Can you help.? Huh

I'm using a Virago 535 speedo but with a Suzuki front wheel and oversized tyre.
The chance of the speedo reading the correct speed are small, however I want to find out the circumference of the original Virago tyre but as this was scrapped some time ago I don't have one to measure.
The tyre size was (As quoted in the Haynes Manual) 3.00s-19 4pr.......Has any body got one, if so could you give me am accurate measurement please.

Cheers

Saw this and thought of you!!!! I have replied to this but I replied in the trike section. I measured my front wheel with the tyre on and the circunference is 79=1/2 inches. Hope that this helps
