Most automotive tires have adopted a standard method of tire size. e.g. 265 70 17
The 265 is the tread width in millimeters. The 70 is the height of the tire in relation to the width. In this case 70% of 265 millimeters, 18.55 mm tall. the 17 is the rim size in inches. 225 60 16 = tread width 225 millimeters Height from rim to tread 60% of 225 = 135 mm and the rim or wheel size is 16 inches. I hope this helps.
