For example: 205/55/15

What does the 205 mean?
What does the 55 mean?
And I assume that the 15 is reffering to the size of the rim: 15 in rim? Am I right or wrong?

205 is the section width.
55 is the aspect ratio.
and yes 15 is the diameter of the rim

THANKS, I've always wondered what those numbers represented.

205 = 205mm width
55 = 55% of 205mm = sidewall height
