Not Ranked
Divide the number of MM by 25.4. That will give you inches width of the tire. 295/25.4 = 11.6". Trouble is that used to be a tread width and these days it's more like a section width or the widest part of the tire. There's a good article 2 issues back in Hot Rod on fitting wheels and tires. They explain alot of the misnomers used with tires. Tire Rack also does a good job on their site explaining some of that stuff.
