Hi There

We are about to take off on a round Oz trip in a couple of months and the time has come to fit some new tyres. We have a 2003 Hilux SR5 and currently have the standard H/T tyres.

On the plate that has all of the specifications for tyres/loads etc...it says we need to fit 255/70R15, now I get what that means, but what I don't get is when a tyre is explained such as 30X9.50R15LT. We are having a very hard time trying to find AT's or Muddies in the 255/70R15 size...but there are plenty of options in the 30X9.50R15LT size and want to check if that is suitable/legal for the Hilux. What I want to know is how to convert 30X9.50R15LT to read xxx/xxR15, if that is all possible?

Hope that makes sense, I am feeling rather confused!

Thanks in advance for your help.
