Nah. Let me explain a bit more. 215 is the width of the tire. The place where the tire is 'widest'. For most of the tires I have seen before, the 'widest' place is in the middle of the side wall, with the width of the tread larger than wheel width.


For the OEM tire, I feel that the 'widest' place is just where tire meets the wheel, with the width of the tread smaller than wheel width.


So the key is the definition of '215'. Tires with the same 215 width can have different tread width for sure.
