Help with tires sizes

[mkramm]

okay what does each of the following number mean?

25x10-12???

is that tire diameter and rim width???

I dont know. I will be looking for new tires for the big bear and I need to know if I can put 25x12's on the rims?

Thanks

The same as car truck tires.

thanks but that dont help...I dont know anything about truck tires either...im an electrical engineer, I know wiring, circuits & electricity

I put in the subject line above, sorry.
tire diam x tread width x rim diam

okay so the tires on the big bear are 25x8-12 & 25x10-12 so 26x10-12 maxxis sur traks will fit? On both the front and the back??? If the guy still has them they are a great deal 70% tread for $60 for all 4.

The rim diameter is the same---12, so the tires will fit the rims. I do not know the clearances on the big bear, so I do not know if the tires will rub when turning or when the suspension compresses.

What ejc042 posted in the subject line....


Typical Size Meanings:


22x10-12

22 = Tire Diameter
10 = Tire Width
12 = Rim Diameter

Hope that helps!
