    What's the difference between these numbers?

    yup...

    225mm wide
    235mm wide
    etc...

    the 40 is the aspect ratio... the sidewall is 40% as tall as the tire is wide.

    since on the subject. what does the Z mean. like 235/40Z size tire.

    The letter is how much speed the tire is made for. A Z rated tire is good for high speeds, that is why most sports cars have Z rated tires. As a matter of fact, I have Z rated tires on my Galant.

    Z is actually only needed if your car can go over 145+ to 165+.....
