How to tell specs on slicks?

I'm trying to do some calulations in a gear calc, and need the tire size for slicks, so how do i figure that out, for like a 26inc slick or something?

What hp are you making?
What kind of transmission?
Any changes on the Gearing or final drive?
How high RPM are you taking it up to?

Is this just an academic exercise, with no practical purpose?

If it's a real size that you already know, you can always plug the size into the tire size calculator per the link in the FAQ topic.
