so what would the metric size of the 30x9.5 ones be ?
also any recomendations on brand and or tread pattern ?

Then you have to factor in that remoulds are often bigger than what it says on the sidewall - one assumes because they are on an old carcass then have the new bit bonded on top.

Aggressive tyres like Insa Turbo Special Tracks or in my case Malatesta Kaiman's are OK on the road but you will get a wobble in the steering wheel somewhere at a speed - mine's between about 43-46MPH.

I have some Kumho KL71's which are not remoulds but a new tyre and have no wobble with them.

When you consider the shape of the aggressive tyres, they are not really round though. they have many flats to them in a circle. So they are hard to balance if not impossible and therefore will never feel great on the road - but mine are OK.

I wouldn't use them if I used the car for any distance or speed daily though.
