The tire width varies tremendously... For instance, pick 4 different bridgestone models in 190/50/17 and you will find one that is 188mm, one is 190mm, one that is 192mm, and another that is 196mm. Same thing goes for 180 section widths, Dunlops, Metzlers, etc... A few years ago one of the magazines did a test on tires, sizes, expansion, etc.
