Awww...come on! Guess!

The rim width is the biggest factor in how wide a tire mounts. The thinner the rim, the thinner the inflated tire width. So that's a big variable.

But some manufactures don't even get close. (Continental, I'm looking at you. Great tires...but you guys don't know how to use a ruler to save your lives)
