Yes you can, but the problem is more likely dirt and it should therefore be

You can use your pc to calculate the ratios and tire size, but a reasonable
rule of thumb for the "big" TR's (2,3,4,5,6) that 3000 rpm should read 60
MPH (no OD). Variations exist with tire size and thumb length. That also
assumes that your tach is operating accurately.
