Yes, tread width.

As a rule of thumb, if they don't list the tread width but just section width then the tire is narrower than other comparably sized tires.

I had no idea there was as much variance in actual tire sizes until I got burned with the BFG KDs. I had always thought the rated size was the real size. It pays, in more ways than one, to do a little comparison shopping.

For some reason the rears are the ones that have the greatest variance in sizing.
