They run 1 size wider. So a 265 is essentially a 275 and a 275 is a 285 if you measure it and compare it to other tires.

AD08's are one of the widest street tires out there... They run about 1 size wider then any other non-track oriented tire.

I find them to be loud and not so good wet and slippery in heavy rain.

+100 to above. They do run atleast 1 size wider.

Heres a comparison of a 255 AD08 next to a 255 Star Spec (and star specs already run a bit more wide/squared).
