The first two digits of the code tell the plant manufacturing the tire. The next two digits tell the size of the tire. The next 3 or 4 digits are codes used by the specific manufacturer to identify other things, like whitewall, letters, brand, ply, etc.

Using Marks example of 0HHB (if my online sources are correct, as I'm not at the shop to confirm it with our printed books)

0H=Triangle Tire -Weihai, China
HB=215/75/14
