Picture can differ from description
To choose the right tyres for your vehicle you need to know the correct dimensions about them. You can check the manual of the vehicle's producer or your registration certificate. Also you can look the sidewall of tyres fit on your vehicle at the moment.
185 - this is the normal width of the tyre in mm
55 - profile - it's not a height in mm, but percent ratio of the width, it should be choosen precise
R - for Radial tyre, all passenger tyres at the present moment are radial
15 - size of the Rim diameter in inches
81 - Load index - how many weight can carry one tyre, it defines by table, in this case 81 means 462kg
H - Speed index - what is the maximum speed you can drive this tyre, here H means 210km/h

A multi-talented tyre for mid class and luxury vehicles
In November 2012 a standard label for vehicle tyres was introduced in the EU. Based on three criteria it gives information about fuel efficiency, wet grip rating and noise levels.
Fuel efficiency - This label shows you how a tyre performs on fuel consumption - fuel efficiency is graded from A to G (rating D is not used for passenger cars). The difference between an A rating and a G rating could mean a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 7.5%. To put this in real terms, choosing A-rated tyres instead of G-rated tyres could save you more than 6 litres of fuel every 1,000 kilometres (based on an average consumption of 8 litres/100km)
Wet grip - This label shows how well a tyre brakes in wet conditions. Graded from A to G (ratings D and G are not used for passenger cars). In an emergency situation, a few metres can make all the difference. For a passenger car applying full brakes from 50mph, a set of A-rated tyres will brake up to 18 metres shorter than a set of F-rated tyres (braking distances may vary according to driving conditions and other influencing factors)
Noise - This label shows you the noise level in decibels of a tyre. The tyre is categorised in 3 classes illustrated by 3 waves: 1 black wave - Quiet (3dB or more below the European limit), 2 black waves - Moderate (between the European limit and 3dB below) and 3 black waves - Noisy (above the European limit)
