I don't really understand your question about tire size... the 30x9.50x15 is 30" tall, 9.50" wide, 15" rim. Is that what you're asking?

As for the 275/75/16, I think 275 is the width in mm, 75 is the aspect ratio, or the percentage of the width that the sidewall is, and 16 is the rim size in inches.

u answered my question i didnt know if the 9.50 was the width or not thankyou

so y are there 2 different types of #s for tires 30x9.50x15 or 275/75/16


as for the warrior shackles i would like to know were to get them online

you wont find, I believe, a 16" wheel in standard measurements (32s, 33s). Also, it is really up to the tire manufacturer to have it as standard or metric (mm)

Just use this to go back and forth from sizes: http://www.dakota-truck.net/TIRECALC/tirecalc.html
