letters are the speed ratings i believe. the "40" is the sidewall's height, which is a percentage of the width (in MM) of the tire.

letters indicate:
speed rating (ex: h,v,w,z)
construction (R = radial...hardly any non-commecial tire is a bias ply)
traction (ex: c, b, a, aa)
mud & snow capability (m+s)

more like 225/40/17 in most cases.
225 = width
40 = height (profile)
17 = size
T, H, V, Z, W, Y are all speed ratings. check out tirerack.com for more info.
