Hey Phillip,
These specs are meaningless, unfortunately. Tire Rack says that a Sumi's section width and tread width are 12.6" and 11.5", respectively. For a Goodyear GS-D3, the numbers are 12.3" and 11.2". Yes, according to the manufacturer's specs, a Sumi is WIDER than a GS-D3. In reality, however, place them side-by-side and you'll clearly see that the Goodyear is over an inch wider than the Sumi. Bottom-line: you can't trust manufacturer's quoted specs on tires.
