Anyone care to explain what the 265/65/16 mean in a dumbed down version. Been looking at some bfg. I'm assuming the demensions of tire/or rim but what does each number represent

Tire width(mm) / ratio of sidewall height to tire width(mm) / rim size
Just use an online calculator to convert to actual size

265 is the width in mm. So there are 25.4 mm's in an inch. 265=10.43" wide. 65 is the height from the edge of the rim to the top of the tire in percent. 65% of 10.43"=6.78". That is basically your side wall height. If you start at the ground and work your way up the tire you have 6.78" of sidewall, 16" of rim, and 6.78" more inches of sidewall. This gives you a 29.56" tire height. Sorry for the detail, I know no other way.
