285/25/20 is the tire size. The first number "285" is the width in centimeters of the tire. The second number is a percentage of the width. So the sidewall height is 25% of the width. The last number is the size in inches of the tire.

haha, sorry, you're correct, its millimeter's, i was typing before i was thinking. I'm positive that the sidewall height is the percentage of the width of the tire... i've been doing tires for the last 3+ years and i'm currently the fastest tire changer in the west
