Like I said, I dunno how they convince themselves they're both 315s, but they are.
It is not worth our time discussing it but there is something else going on. There is no way a manufacture is going to take the chance of running afoul of federal /NHTSA regulations and not put the correct information on the tires. 571.139 defines Section Width as the linear distance between the exteriors of the sidewalls of an inflated tire, excluding elevations due to labeling, decoration, or protective bands and that is a required time to be on the tires.
