You are correct.

I realize the way tire sizes are measured seems bizarre, but how can you even begin to consider yourself a "car person" or any type of car enthusiast if you don't know what the numbers mean? Seriously, that was like the 1st thing I learned about cars!!! 
really? the first thing you ever learned about cars was about tire measurements? thats strange... The first thing I ever learned about cars was that they drove places faster then walking... Of course, I learned this when I was an infant... but the fact still remains that this was the first thing I learned...
Aside from that... I asked so that I could learn something new... I knew what that particular number ment but I did not know the purpose for putting a slightly skinnier tire on the back end of a rear wheel drive car... I did merely ask a question for clairification.
