perhaps you mean a 205 tire has 7.9" treadwidth?  this is a more significant
difference.

>>>Well, I was simply extracting the data published on BFG's webpage regarding
tread width.  The 205/60 was supposedly measured on an 8-inch rim, even their
max recommended rim width is 7.5 inches...wonder if there's a typo or two in
there?
