205/40 the middle number is the profile rating

the middle number is the aspect ratio. a 205/60 will be shorter than a 215/60 because the middle number is the percent of the first number. make sence?60%of 205 is the height vs 60% of 215.

no, the first # 215 is how wide it is, the 2nd is how skinny it is and the last is how big it is
