Difference in terms of what?
Here's a good tire size calculator that lets you compare any two tire sizes to each other: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

this is what gets people confused. a 60 sidewall is not always shorter. sometimes it could be higher. but in this case yes....60 is shorter.
the first number is your width.... in mm
second number is aspect ratio. percentage of width.. so a 50 series tire would be 50 percent of the width. if width was 205 then 50 percent would be 102.5
third number is your rim
