I've been looking for pics but I can't find anything.
"first" number in tire specs is the tread width in mm. i.e.- 245mm
"second" number is the PERCENTAGE of the tread width for the sidewall height. i.e. 35 = 35% of 245mm = 85.75mm

the sidewall of a 245/35 is not the same as a 225/35. but a 215/40 is almost the same even though it says "40". because it's a percentage.
