No. The first number is the tire cross section, generally wider than the rim width, the second is rim diameter where the bead sits. Eons ago the first number was close to the tire height from the rim. Examples: 6:50-16 fits on a 5" wide rim. 18.4-30 or 34 or 38 fits on a 16" wide rim. There's an extensive listing of tire numbers, tire dimensions and rim requirements at: http://www.firestoneag.com/tiredata/index.html Gerald
