SAE to metric conversion calculator
Anybody know where there is one at on the net? I need to get a set of tires for my new rims and I am looking for sometihn about 10 inches wide and about 30 inches tall but I have no idea what that converts to on those metirc tire measurements. I already searched but I guess Im not using the right key words.

You talking about a 10 in. wide tread or overall? If you got 16 in. wheels then a 255/70 16 or a 265/70 16 is close to what you're looking for. The 255/70 has a 10 in. section width and a 30.1 in. overall diameter and the 265/70 has a 10.5 in. section width and a 30.5 in. overall diameter. I hate the metric system on tires personally so I learned to convert them to easier terms.

My new rims are 18s Im either going to go with 255/60 R18s or 275/55 R18s Toyo Proxe S/T. The latter one is a little over 11" wide and barely under 30" tall so I think Im going to go with that one.
