lost... tire basics 101

[B2300mobile]

ok so i'm confused

If the tire is 205/65/r15 what do the "205" and "65" repersent?
when someone says 4 x 114 what are they talking about?

i had another question but i can't remember it at the moment

205 is 205 milimeters wide,

65 means the height of the tire is 65% of the width tall.

4x100
the 4 =4bolt pattern
the 100= how far apart the holes are

205/65/r15
205=width in mm's

65 = the profile of the tire the higher the more tire less rim the lower the more rim less tire....if that makes sence

15= the size of the rim 15 inch rim in this case.
