Okay this is how it is for any tire.

example: 130/70R17H is the tire code.

130 is the tire width (the tread pattern area) in milimeters . Larger the number, the larger the tread surface area
70 is the aspect ratio (rather the height of teh sidewall). Its in mm too. The small the number the smaller the side wall - hence low profile tires.
17 - rim size
H - speed code, of how fast it is designed to handle.
