Crying or Very sad Help, I can't find anywhere on the net that explains tyre sizes correctly.

They all mention what eg 265/70/15 mean but some bf goodrich tyres are eg 31/10.5/15

How are these tyre sizes calculated?

Thanx Guys

I have some A/T 31/10.5/15

i think you'll find these are in cm where as the 265/70 's are in mm

Don't quote me on this though. Crying or Very sad

Confused Confused Confused Confused if that site didn't answer your question, I'm not sure what your after, The 31/10.5/15 refers to inches.

The 31 is 31" diameter 10.5" wide. What else do you want to know.... Speed ratings? What the letters stand for? Not sure what you want that isn't explained in those websites Rolling Eyes
