325/30R20 — what does it mean?
- 325 stands for tread width in millimeters
- 30 is an aspect ration between the tread width and the sidewall in percents
- R means that the tire has a radial construction
- 20 is a wheel diameter (or rim) in inches
How to convert 325 30R20 to inches?
First of all, we need to divide 325 mm (width) by 25.4 (mm to inch conversion), which will give us a width of 12.8″. Then, 30% of the 12.8″ will result in 3.9″ sidewall.
To get the total height or tire diameter, we need to sum the 20″ rim diameter with two of the sidewall heights. It will result in a 27.8″ total tire diameter (or height).
For your convenience, below is a table for 325/30R20 conversion to inches:
| Inches | Metric | |

| Overall diameter (height) | 27.8″ | 706 mm |
| Tread width | 12.8″ | 325 mm |
| Wheel diameter | 20″ | 706 mm |
| Sidewall height | 3.9″ | 98 mm |
| Circumference | 87.3″ | 2217 mm |
| Revolutions | 726 / ml | 451 / km |
