900 x 16 was the original tire size on the m37. What is the modern equivalent metric to this?

Example xxx/xx/16

9x16 is a 100% aspect ratio tire on a 16" rim, so 9" wide, and 9+ 16 + 9 (or 34) inches tall. gives a standard tire size of 34 x 9 x 16

to find the metric size, just multiply the tire width by 25.4 to get the metric equivalent, in this case 9x25.4 = 228.6

then you need the aspect ratio and rim size.

so by the numbers, the modern exact equivalent size would be 228.6/100R16.

255/100R16 is the metric radial equivalent.
