Pretty cool. I did not know that.
Just curious what size you are referring to. As far I know, there is nothing that is same as 225/95/16 in the USA.

I thought 225/95-16 is the metric equivalent of a 7.50-R16........but I could be wrong.
I think it is more 235/85/16 if I am doing this right. Pretty close.

I just know that Dunlop in Saudi cross references them as the same size. Looks like Bridgestone does as well: 225/95r16 C (7.50r16) Bridgestone Dueller D619A2 - Vrakking Tires
I see what you are saying now. I was just going by what is available here in the US.

Well that 7.50R-16 KM3 is available. Which, I'll say again, is pretty cool.
They are close. The 225s are a bit taller. The KM3 is shown by BFG to be 8.7" x 31.8". The Bridgestone is 8.9" x 32.6"

Well they are two different brands and two different treads. You can find that much variation across almost any tire size.
But that KM3 is probably as close as you can get to a 225 in the US.

They are all pretty close to each other. I guess it depends on the end user to decide which one suits them the best. I understand there is some slight variation by tire supplier.
235/85/16
9.25" wide
31.73" tall
225/95/16
8.8" wide
32.8" tall
7.50-16

Got it and I agree.
Nobody seems to have mentioned that the 255/85/16 are available in the US
I run these in a Toyo M55 commercial tire.

But it's like 10" wide right?
I’ve run a old set of Bfg mt’s in that size, now they are sipped and studded
9.5” or so wide I think, maybe skinnier

I'm finding a tad over 10" by right at 33".
