Simple maths will tell you how long it'd take:

17" wheel plus 2x the tyre height (2x 0.6*120mm) gives diameter. Pi*D gives rolling circumference of the wheel (1.8meters by my calculations)

You need to add 58000 miles (93,500 Km)

So 93,500/0.0018 km =51714791 Rotations.

Then it's just down to how fast the sensor can keep up or the drill can go, but at 1000 rpm it'd take about 35 days.....

Slow day at work anyone else?
