Can someone please explain why some tyres are measured in different formats. Like 285's are similar to 33's in size and so on. I'm after a tyre thats good for offroad work with the knoby look e.g. wrangler mtr, but won't wear to bad on the black top. I know this might be a big call, but there must be something out there. It doesn't have to be a name brand either, my 4by is a gq patrol.

The black art of selecting tyres.
There is simple answer.
For sizes suggest you try some tyre sites, or the above suggestion.
It does take some research to come up to speed.
And yes, inches are still used to measure OD, must be the USA influence.
