[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 15651355, member: 124025"] I've never seen a manufacturer publish a tread width on a radial tire. Tire Rack uses some method they explain on their website for thread width, that doesn't make a lot of sense from my perspective, but these are not coming from the manufacturer. You'll also notice that tire manufacturer's publish the actual rim width used in their cross section measurement. For instance, Michelin states the 325 is 13" when measured on a 12" rim. It loses close to 1/2 in girth mounted on an 11" rim in my circumstance, so wheel size is also relative to tire width too. Remember the inside of the wheel well to the outer fender is only 13.5" wide. You need some room for the wheel/tire to articulate. [/QUOTE]
