in case you wish to work it yourself - 15 is the rims size i.e. 15 inch imperial is inches so thats the easy bit done 225 is the nominal section width of the tyre (widest part) typically in the sidewall area expressed in mm's now, 70 is the sidewall height in a percentage, meaning the sidewall height is 70% of 225mm so 225 x .70 (or 70%) is 157.5mm now times that by two cause there is two sidewalls so 157.5 + 157.5 is 315mm 315mm divides by 25.4 gives inches which is 12.40 inches add that to your rims diameter of 15inches and you get 27.4 inch high the tyres width is 225mm so change that to inches is around 8.5 inches so an imperial number for you is 27/8.50R15, which would be super odd ball hope this helps can I ask why you need the equivalent!

Oh I need a couple of tyres, I have 2 nearly new 225/70/15 on the rear and thought that there might have been an imperial equivalent to expand the options for the front.

could you just stick with the same size for the front any reason as to why a different size would help are you looking for something not available in a 225/70R15 you looking for a wider tyre, grippier, less grippy, lower!

No I was simply browsing tyres on here and saw heaps of imperial sizes for sale and was wondering if there was an equal to what I have now.Simple as that really.
