Not true...the "265" is the section width, the widest part of the tire, not necessarily the tread. The tires tend to "balloon" out a bit when properly inflated, and the sidewall becomes a bit wider than the tread, and the section width is just measured by the widest part.
The first number "265" is the tread width in millimeters (mm).
