32/11.50/15 the 32 is the overall hight of the tyre in inches 11.50 is the width again in inches and last but not least 15 the size of the rim in inches  |

Have asked in another post but no answer yet (probably being impatient  )
But..
The tyre size mentioned in the post title is not the same as what my tyres say, they have something like 265/70/R15, what is the difference in the names?
The final pic's show were they tyres fitted to 15" alloys?
I tried a garage who said that BF Goodrich don't make tyres to go on 15! rims? |
As Chrisland has said the 32/11.50/15 tyres refer to all the sizes in imperial measurement (a lot of off road all terrain type tyres are sized this way) whereas yours are sized the european way which is a lot harder to understand, basically 265 is the tread width in mm 70 is the aspect ratio of the sidewall worked out as a percentage of the tread width (i said it was more difficult to understand  ) 15 is the diameter of the rims in inches.

Thanks again.
