That is not the case with most tires. Some are wider in the same MM as others, it just depends on the brand. Not all 275 MM tires will be EXACTLY 275MM, try it out with a ruler if you have same size tires in different brands with your car and your friends car, they will probably be a little bit differernt in overall width. It is strange, but true. Another reason why some people have an easier time getting 315's on their car compared to others.

thanks guys for your help. looks like the gs d3 and bfg are the widest.on any other brand, 285 probably is the way to go with no problem of the tire lookin like ifs gonna blow out of the wheel . Fb0dy0nly im gonna take the ruler and make my own research .
The 275 is NOT the tread width!!!!!!!!!!
It is the cross section of the widest part of the tire. Which would be sidewall bulge to sidewall bulge.
here are some pics of BFG KDW in a 285/40 on a stock 17x9 SS wheel.

315/35/R17s in back w/11in rim. I have seen same tire on 9in rim but I've also heard not to mount a tire that wide on a 9in rim. had to cut bumpstops off but havent had any problems even on speed bumps. Sorry no pics but maybe soon.
