    No, like I said, tires are sized in both. The width of the bead is given in millimeters, the diameter of the bead is given in inches, and the height of the sidewall is given as a percentage of the width aka Aspect Ratio.

      Cut it and you’re left with a U shaped slice measured in mm (even if it’s a ratio that’s used for both legs, if you apply a ratio to a measure in mm, the result is something you measure in mm).

        Cut it and the auto shop is going to make you pay for the merchandise you just destroyed.

        The diameter of the bead, which is measured in inches, is a critical feature of the goddamn tire.
