"To fit HB-575 rim" - Cycling Mob: Road Cycling, Mountain Biking and More

The factory-install tires of my trusty 12-year-old MTB are in their dying
days, so I decided to replace them. Upon arriving back at home with the
new tires I noticed that there's a text printed in their side: "to fit
HB-575 rim".

So, what's the significance of that? What is a HB-575 rim? Did I buy a set of
tires that require some special kind of rims --- rims my old bike probably
doesn't have?
