Its not that hard to convert with a calculator, metric sizes mean (section width/aspect ratio rim size) in mm.

Aspect ratio is the sidewall hieght as a percent of the width.

For instance, a 265/75r15 tire would be...

265x.75=198.75 (height of sidewall in mm)

198.75x2=397.5 (double sidewall hieght to figure for diameter)

397.5/25.4=15.64 (convert from mm to inches)

Add rim height 15.64+15=30.64

So that tire has a diameter of 30.64 inches, plus whatever the tread depth is.
