Default Whats the difference?

I need some help with tire sizes. I have been looking at getting a 305-70-17 tire, but the problem is i dont know what size in inches that is? Is it a 34? I have also read that a 285-70-17 is the same size, but that cant be right? Please help.

if you go to discounttire.com, they have a calculator on there that will tell you width, height, everything. it will also let you put in your stock size and tell you the differences including speed
