Divide the circumference of the tank by 6 to yield the horizontal distance or run you will have available in 60 degrees of tank circumference. as #1 said divide the height by 250 to get the number of steps. divide the run by number of steps to find tread width. use the same units for measurements.
If the vertical step-to-step rise is 250mm, the horizontal step-to-step tread should be about 190mm. (There are various guideline formulas, but I don't know if any of them are strictly mandated.) You still haven't said how tall the tamk is.
