This should help you out if your trying to switch from the metric to standard.

You can go to the various tire manufacturer sites and look up the specific tire you have and want. They have tables that list the overall diameter, width, revolutions per mile, recommended rim widths, and more. With that information you should be able to cross-reference anything you need to.
