    this is a good one that doesnt beat around the bush tryin to sell you tires

    if you wanna know how the metric system works:

    ex-285/75/16

    1st number: tread width in millimeters (285mm)
    2nd number: sidewall height as a percentage of width (285x.75=sidewall height)
    3rd number: rim size

    tire diameter=3rd number x 2(2nd number)

    285/75/16=32.8/11.2/16 or reasonably speaking 33/11/16.

    There is also a Iphone app called tire math. It does gear ratio, speedometer, odometer, and tire converter
