A lot of the younger users may not be aware that the American Tire Manufacturers changed the standard designations for tire sizes three times over the years.For convience I am posting a chart of the different sizes and also the different tread designations.
TIRE SIZE CONVERSION CHART 1932-1940 1940-1955 1955-PRESENT 7.00 TO 8 TO 8.3 7.50 TO 9 TO 9.5 8.25 TO 10 TO 11.2 9.00 TO 11 TO 12.4 10.00 TO 12 TO 13.6 11.25 TO 13 TO 14.9 NONE NONE 15.5 12.75 TO 14 TO 16.9 13.50 TO 15 TO 18.4 NONE 16 TO 19.2 NONE 17 TO 20.8 NONE 18 TO 23.1 NONE NONE 24.5
