Need some help here, ready to replace some old B.F.Goodrich radial T/A tires.
Front GR60-15 section width 9.40 overall dia 26.86 tread width 7.95

Rear LR50-15 section width 11.65 overall dia 26.76 tread width 10.00
the above specs are from the BF Goodrich sheet.

What are the metric sizes for these?
Any calculators for this?

Thank you
