Do you happen to know why that is? Just curious.

P.S. Also, did they ever update the PS2 tires? I just picked up a pair and the sidewall is slightly different than my current tire.

Just because

Different manufacturers and models within the brand are just designed differently. Each tires is designed with a different sidewall thickness, sidewall height, sized contact patches, etc...

No I know, that I understand. You made it seem like it's a known fact that the PS2/Sport/RE050As are wider, so I didn't know if this was proven or not.

Proven by myself. I've personally owned and driven on almost all of the high-performance tires out there. I've tried many others, but these are the ones where there was a clear difference without needing to bust out a ruler.
