Expert Reply:
You have asked a question that has confused many people. The tire size 4.80-8 and the tire size 4.80/4.0-8 are absolutely identical. The numbers reference a new system versus an old system of measurement.
The new system is the first number 4.80-8 and the other number was the older system. We reference both numbers because many people are reading the numbers directly from their current tire when seeking a replacement. Their specific tire number reference could be either the new or old system of measurement. We want to ensure we get our customers the right tire, so our system includes both measurement options.
