Okay so as my first post was talking about my lift and what were the cheapest wheels/tires. I need help on understanding what the tire sizes mean. When the tire is Lt245/70R17. Please some help, feel free to laugh at this question haha. Or if you guys really want to help, you could help me choose my tires for my wheels.

Rims: Pro Comp Xtreme Alloys Series (16x8)
Im looking for a 33" tire.

Thanks guys

I couldnt resist

 

Lol thanks man, now I feel dumb

 

Its a common question, but if you're looking at metric measurements for tires, the first thing is that the LT stands for a Light Truck tire, (as opposed to "P" for a Passenger tire). The first number is the width of the tire in millimeters (i.e. a "285/70/17" is 285 mm wide), the second number is the % of the width that your sidewall is. So, again, a 285/70/17 would be 70% of 285 mm, and the third number is the rim size. It is explained better and with more detail on Discount Tire's website (and they're a vendor here too):

There are also tire size calculators that will show you the difference in size and speed if you're torn between different sizes.
