The reasoning behind this is the second number in the tire size is going to be the sidewall height as a ratio of the width.
So, 255/30/20 = 26" diameter and 775 revs per mile
and 305/25/20 = 26" diameter and 776 revs per mile
The rear tire is nearly identical in overall diameter to the front, even though the sidewall height number is smaller.
if you want to compare tire sizes, use
