Considering I had to make major fender modifications to fit the Z1, I consider section width to be as important or more than tread width since tread width means nothing if the tire won't fit on the car. If you think any information related to tire fitment is arbitrary and meaningless they you may need a bit more tire 101. ;)

Anyway, compare whatever you want. Back on topic.

In comparison to the Falken Azenis, there is no comparison. The Falkens are crap. I have them as street tires on the Datsun and the car is scary on the street in the dry and down right terrifying in the rain. We've run them in 24 Hrs of Lemons and they have worn poorly, and get really greasy when they get hot. The Dunlops are hands down better. They are fantastic in the rain. I really hope Dunlop didn't change the tire any more than the tread pattern.

when did I say anything about rim width? Maybe this picture will help you understand.
notice how the tread width of the z1 is slightly larger than the T1r, yet the section width is significantly larger on the z1? Do you understand how that can affect ones ability to fit the z1 on a car versus the T1r? If you only looked at tread width it would be easy to say it will fit no problem, but when you look at section width its pretty obvious its going to take some work to run the z1 if the T1r was a tight fit. Both tires in that pic are mounted on the same wheels.
