Default What does the degree of a tire mean? Jaco Serpent related

Quick question. I'm looking for some on-road 1/8 foam tires and looking at the Towerhobbies website they list several for the Jaco Serpent. All for front ones for example seem to have the same width and diameter but they differ in degree. There's 30 degree ones, 35 degree ones, 38 and 40 degree ones. What the heck do the degrees refer to? The only thing I can think of is that maybe the edges of the tires are not totally square (i.e. the sidewall is not 90 degrees to the bottom of the tire) but are beveled. Can anyone shed some light on this mystery?
