Car tire effectively gets that smaller diameter by compression & flexing of the sidewall along with some of the tread face. Different method, same result; tire follows an arc. Car tire tread does flex and will lie flat on the road surface where it makes contact. It does not ride on a hard immovable, non-pliable edge.

You might say whatever you want, I'd not feel comfortable with a car tyre in a motorcycle (unless it has a side-car
).
