what it means is the with of the tyre as carracarra13 says, but it was not explained exactly

7.50 is inch's so is "Old money" so to speak

235 is mm's

and each section on the tyre means

235 = with of the tyre tread. 85 = % of width. 16 = rim diametre

On imperial sized tyres (7.50 = 7.5 inches) it is, I believe, the width of the tyre at it's widest point not necessarally the tread width.
