I'm not sure which measuring systems you are referring to. The one used most commonly today is like P235/75R15. P is Passenger tire or LT for Light Truck Tire or ST for Trailer Tires. 235 is the width of the tread in millimeters. 75 is the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the tread width. (So the the height of the sidewall is 75% of 235 in this example.) R is for Radial tire construction. 15 is the diameter of the hole in middle of the tire. It should match the diameter of the wheel that the tire is mounted on.
