I don't know about "always" but tire width has been in millimeters since I started paying attention. A typical tire designation like P225/50R16 will have a width in millimeters, a unitless aspect ratio and an imperial rim diameter.

Then why do I have 31"X 10.50" X 15" tires on my vehicle?

Me too, a 2000 model year SUV. But newer vehicles don't use those sizes anymore, AFAIK.

The question was specifically about cars, not trucks, vans or SUVs. :-)

Also I've only looked at car tires so I had no idea that truck tires were specified differently.

I'm going to guess that these tires are either on a truck or a race car...
