Only problem with the conversion chart (below), is that some of the sizes
listed are not made by anybody! There is a good metric equal to a
31x10.5x15, and that is a 285-70-15 (30.7"dia. x 11.2"w). I have a set of
(4) BFG T/As in this size, if anyone is interested in helping me clean out
my basement. Almost new. Cheap! There is no advantage to going metric on
tires, except that all passenger car tires are now metric. Most of the
fat/low-profile tires on the market are now metric. While most of the "LT"
tall tires are either inch, or metric. -Bill
