Gryphon tires size with 37's

Could someone tell me what tire size I should be entering in with 37x13.5x20 toyo m/t's? Thanks

Why doesn't Toyo use metric sizing like the more established brands? Do they just want to be "different"?

Ok, your question: Multiply 37 by 25.4 to get the diameter in millimeters (939.8). Multiply that by pi to get the unloaded circumference (2952.47). Subtract about 3% (88.57) to account for "squish", and you get (2864 mm), a rounded value for loaded circumference that's a good starting point - assuming you keep your tires inflated to the recommended pressures.

Jack, it's not just Toyo .. Most tire companies use the "standard" of inches for larger tire sizes.

It doesn't amaze me. I KNOW you are pretty near as ignorant as I am.
