It's unlikely that given the range of tyres tested, that they would have all been the same make and model. Differences in tread pattern, compound, construction, load rating etc will be enough to cause the odd blip if you look hard enough.

That's why the bike graph I posted is so neat. That test was run with a single tyre model (GP4000 IRC) - width being the only variable.
