Yep, 32 X xx.x/16

or 33 X xx.x/16








Here is a calculator for ya: http://www.dakota-truck.net/TIRECALC/tirecalc.html

Here is a best rule of thumb guide:

For every 10mm change in section width, tire diameter changes by 1/2"
For every 5 percent change in profile percentage, the diameter changes by 1"

The stock early Explorers had 235/75/15's. That means a 235mm section width, and 75 series of tire. The series is the percentage of the section width, which results in the distance from the wheel to the tread.

A 255/70/16 is a later stock common tire, and is 30" tall.

These work with the common tire sizes. I haven't done extensive research to say that 24" rims work this way, or 20 series tires, etc.

The Tire Rack is a good website to use to experiment with tire sizes. Good luck,
