Wonder if that's accurate, about the drive for all metric, I'm old enough did I remember Jimmy Carter try to convert US to metric, I really wish it would have happened because now we're stuck with half and half.... metric makes so much sense everything is divided by 10, in other words if you have a box that is 10 cm by 10 cm by 10 cm that is a thousand cubic centimeters, which is 1 Liter, which water weighs exactly 1 kg.
If we would have accepted the change back then..it would be old news by now.
Now we are stuck in the middle.
This comes from a guy that lived in Italy for 3 years when I was in my early teens.

Kinda like all those Europeans buying tires to go on their 381mm, 431.8mm and 508 mm wheels.....
Anybody remember those 390mm michelins?

I owned an 83 Mustang GT and an 84 Escort GT with the metric Michelin TRX. They were the first go at a low profile tire. It did help they handling on dry roads, but if rain was even in the forecast they would hydroplane.

No issue putting 255 mm tires on 6.5 inch wheels, though.

But I still have to use Google to convert the 255mm to inches, so I really KNOW how wide they are.

I pretty much know that 6mm is a 1/4"

It's "fun" having a 1/2 metric, 1/2 SAE 2000 Dakota.

It's easy. Just get a metric adjustable wrench!
