if the tire has width w and diameter d, then
w*πd = 250 ft^2
wd = 250/π ft^2
so, pick any width and diameter (both in feet) that multiply to 250/π
w*πd = 250 ft^2
wd = 250/π ft^2
so, pick any width and diameter (both in feet) that multiply to 250/π

actually, that's not quite right.
If the circumference is c, and the tire width is w (both in feet), the area of track made by one turn is cw.
So, the tire makes 250/cw turns.
Pick your own c and w.
