LT315/50R24 — what does it mean?

• LT means "light truck"

How to convert LT315 50R24 to inches?

First of all, we need to divide 315 mm (width) by 25.4 (mm to inch conversion), which will give us a width of 12.4″. Then, 50% of the 12.4″ will result in 6.2″ sidewall.

To get the total height or tire diameter, we need to sum the 24″ rim diameter with two of the sidewall heights. It will result in a 36.4″ total tire diameter (or height).
