Does anyone have a new nitto terra grappler g2 in 295/60R20 they can physically measure the tread width for me?

I just ordered a set of 295/65R20 and they are 1-1/4 narrower than my previous 295/60R20 terra grapplers (not g2) despite all specs saying they are same width.

They should be somewhere around 11.6” wide. Now, the manufacturers can sometimes measure differently or have different tolerance than others. You’ll find tolerance on Michelin/BFG to be more tightly controlled than others, but there is still some variation. Diameter is one that is regularly off from what the listed number is.

Are both tires from same manufacturer? Both the same line of tire? Over an inch different seems odd but numbers could be measured further down on sidewall which would allow the same claim on width but have less actual contact and gains in fuel economy which would allow better marketing.... its sorta a game really.
