here is a walk through if I typed up for someone a couple weeks ago
How you figure out a metric tire (I will use 285/75 16)
285 means 285mm wide.
75 means the sidewall it 75% of 285mm.
16 obviously means the rim diameter.
For the rest of the example I will use round numbers.
again I will use a 285/75 16 tire.
285mm to inches is about 11
75% of 285mm is 213mm
213mm to inches is about 8"
to find the tire height you do sidewall (8") x 2 + rim size (16")
(8x2)+16 = 32 I rounded down through the whole thing but it ends up to be 32.8" high.
Hope this helps and makes sense.
