Default Tire Size? WTF

Looking to put something smaller and skinnier on the front of my '90 notch and was looking at my brothers tires on his beater and did some measuring. How can a 205-70-15 be skinnier than a 195-60-15???

lol...why would it be wider? it's a 70 series compared to a 60 series

google tire claculator and you fine tune what want w/ those metric numbers, or tell the tire guy what you want it to be in inches and they will convert it

165/15's are perfect front runners though...like a 26 X 4
