How are tires measured?

Answer:
The 205 means the tire is 205 millimeter across from the widest point of it's outer sidewall to the widest point of it's inner sidewall.

The 60 indicates that the tire's sizes sidewall height, from rim to tread, is 60% of it's section width.


Of course the last number is the wheel size in inches.
