They aren't always accurate due to depending on what width rim they are inflated on, but also tire manufacturers lie so that their specs look better. You take two 37 tires, one might list it being 25% less weight than competition, its because it is narrower and thus lighter, but still sold as a 37 replacement.
Yeah, I have a Panaracer Pasela PT and Gravel King on the same Mavic A719s, both tires are 38-622, one measures 37.5mm, the other 36mm. Pretty close to the spec unlike CST's innuendo. When I picked up the bike, I thought the manufacturer put the wrong tire on. ๐
