Flotation sized tires are similar to LT-Metric tires in application except for a few important points.
Number one, they cannot be used in dual applications and number two, an equivalent size tire may have different load capacity than its LT-Metric counterpart. The first number in the Flotation tire size is the overall diameter in inches. Pretty straight forward.

After the section width comes a letter that indicates the type of internal construction: 33X For example, a tire with the 33X Load Index and Speed Rating have the same meaning and format as the tires using the metric sizing system.
Note that since flotation tires cannot be used in a dual application there will be only one load index number instead of two. This grading and stamping is required for passenger car tires i. P-metric and Euro-metric in the all season and summer categories. Stores Find Tires.
