No , I'm not saying they are wrong . . . just , thats their view of things.
there are NUMEROUS threads on this where people have been given a different answer.
eg, there is an allowable difference of 3% in a tyre size. Thats why you will see eg, Toyo at 778mm and BFG at 792mm BUT, both being 265/70/R16.
The accepted way of doing it, is to find the largest PHYSICAL sized 265/70/R16 (eg the BFG at 792mm) THEN add 15mm to give you a measurement of 807mm.
As long as the tyre you fit is under 807mm (even going up a size to 265/75/R16) then, you are legal.
Now, I believe the BFG AT's at 265/75/R16 are 812mm , so , its only 5mm over. Which is quickly reduced , in PHYSICAL size , in just a few months.
As I said , its all about interpretation.
