Nominal sizes from the formulas. Real tires differ by maker and tread; the maker's spec sheet lists the actual diameter.

How to read the chart

Reading a row: 285/70R17 is 32.7 in tall and 11.2 in wide with a 7.9 in sidewall, and its nearest flotation size is 33x11.00R17. 285/70R17 and 33x12.50R17 are both about 33 in tall, so they are close in gearing and speedometer terms even though the codes look nothing alike.

How to use this tool

  1. Pick your rim
    Use the rim buttons to show only the sizes that fit your wheel diameter.
  2. Find your size
    Look for the code on your tire's sidewall, or find the diameter you are aiming for in the Diameter column.

How it is calculated

  • Sidewall (mm) = width x aspect / 100. Diameter (in) = rim + 2 x sidewall / 25.4. Section width (in) = width / 25.4.
  • Diameter = first number. Width = second number. Sidewall (in) = (diameter - rim) / 2.
  • Circumference = pi x diameter. Revolutions per mile = 63,360 / circumference.

Results are nominal. Real tires differ by maker and tread, and the maker's spec sheet lists the actual diameter.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a metric tire size to inches?

Multiply width by aspect ratio and divide by 100 for the sidewall in mm, divide by 25.4 for inches, double it and add the rim diameter. The chart does this for each size.

What is the nearest flotation size column?

It rounds the diameter to the nearest whole inch and the width to the nearest half inch. It is only a way to compare sizes, not a promise that a tire is sold in that size.

Why do very different size codes come out the same height?

Diameter depends on width x aspect ratio and on the rim together. 285/75R16 (about 32.8 in) and 285/70R17 (about 32.7 in) are nearly the same height even though the codes differ, which is why the chart lists the diameter next to every code.

Are these the exact tire diameters?

No. They are nominal figures from the size code. Tread depth, maker and mounted rim width all change the real number, and the maker's spec sheet lists it.

Which sizes are not on the chart?

The chart covers 31 common off-road sizes. For any other size, use the tire size calculator, which accepts any metric or flotation code.

What do the letters P and LT change?

They describe how the tire is built and rated, not its size math. The chart treats them the same.
