The Anacondas are, but they will make your eyes blurr and probably won't last long with continual road use!

As vince said, anacondas are. But the alligator's aren't road legal, maxi cross tyres are very similar but are road legal, only available in limited sizes though. try www.kingoffroad.co.uk or www.simmonites.com

if i remember rightly it's a variation on the way the sizes are written, which is sometimes used when the sidewall height and tyre width are the same. You just have to work out whether it's referring to metric or imperial sizes which is pretty easy really. Imperial sizes will be minimum 650, or 6.50", metric sizes will be maximum 300, or 300mm.

750x16 is 7.5" wide, the sidewall height is also 7.5", and the tyre will fit a 16" wheel. The overall equivalent imperial sizing would be 31x7.50x16
(the 31 being made up of the 16" wheel size and two lots of sidewall at 7.50" each)

245x16 would be the same as a 245/100/16.

All the above is assuming i remeber it all correctly, i could be wrong coz using the above a 245x16 comes out at about 35x9.50x16 which just doesn't sound right.
