Metric Tire Sizing???

I just want to start out by saying I'm pretty well versed in tire sizing and what the numbers/letters mean. Example---195/65R15 94H

I Picked up a set of tires and it says on the sidewall---175R14....that's it. The guy I got them from said, "that's metric sizing." Maybe I've been living in a cave or just haven't come across this kind of tire sizing by chance???

Q1-What does that equal in common tire sizing terms?
-and-
Q2-I thought the example I gave was metric sizing, being that you measure it in metric?

Help me out here, I sort of feel like a bonehead on this one....


Thanks,
Car Guy
