johnfoss said:Consumer Reports, which I read, would probably say yes to that. But tire
diameters and widths are not exact. Diameters have less excuse, as they
don't change depending on rim width. Some are 3/4" different than what
the tire says on it (like old Miyata tires, at approx. 23.35"😉.Width is very dependent on the rim you use, so tire manufacturers have
more of an excues to "fudge" those numbers. But if a 3" tire barely
reaches 3" wide on a Large Marge rim, which is way wider than what 99%
of customers will use, then they're definitely exaggerating.
So then I'm wondering now if the "static" width, which they say is less
than stated on the tire, is basically the same for other tires, like
the duro. I'll search around and see what I find.
