i believe for williams it was 195/55/r15

195 (tyre tread width in mm) 55 (% of tyre tread width (in this case 195mm) that the tyre wall is high) and the r15 is diameter obviously!! and letter at the end such as 'v' represents speed rating, think 'v' is upto 149mph?

185/55/15

185 denotes the width of the tyre in mm

55 denotes the sidewall as a % of the width ie - 55% of 185 = sidewall

15 is the easy bit, fits a 15 inch rim

the H, V, R etc are speed ratings
