Anyone have a tire size conversion from the LT sizes. I know there is a chart floating around somewhere, haven't found it yet though.
Also, what is a LT tire versus a tire which just gives inch dimensions for there size. Is it just a different designation of size?

Think you're confusing LT for P-metric.
An LT tire is a "light truck" tire as opposed to a P-series "passenger car" tire. Usually means stronger tire, higher capacity, and/or more aggressive tread.
P-metric or metric tire sizes are just stupid. First numebr is tread width in mm, next is a ratio of sidewall to tread, and last is the wheel diameter in inches.
A 265/75-16 is therefore 265mm wide (~10.5") by 31.6" (2 x .75 x 265mm + 16 = ~31.6") in diameter on a 16" wheel. More or less a 32x10.50x16 in the olden days.
Anyway, you can get stupid size tires that are P and stupid size tires that are LT, so the LT designation isn't just to do with size, as it also implies type.
HTH.
