That number is the "profile" of the tire. For example: 265/35ZR 18

It means, if I understand things correctly, that the tire is 35% as tall (from the rim) as the tire is wide. In this example, the tire is 265mm wide. So, the wider you go with the tire, the lower the profile needs to be in order to clear everything and to keep similar ratios.
