I do know from experience that Michelin Pilot Super Sports run notoriously wide. I agree -- dimensions should be exact and not "sweetened" in any way.
I'm not sure all of this is "cheating", at least in the case of the Trofeo Rs. They are very "square" and the sidewalls do not seem to bulge or round as much as the S-04s.
After going from memory I decided to go back to TireRack; here's a chart for comparison. Damn; guess Michelin is really stretching those Pilot Super Sports!
