That's just dumb. They have a set width for the tread from shoulder to shoulder that doesn't change with rim width. Why should I be stuck looking at 2 different 285mm "section width" tires that have a 2" difference in actual tread width? It's bullsh*t I tell ya!
At least I know to stay away from the BFG's because their 285's are way too narrow. The Terra Grapplers and Geolanders on the otherhand are nice and wide. Real tread baby! I just need an easy way to be able to tell when I'm looking on the web, or don't have a measuring tape with me.
