Question on tyres

I know that the GTS cars and GT and LMP 675 cars have a radious of 14 inch, where as LMP 900/GTP cars have a radious of 16 inches but what Im trying to find out is, what is the actual width of the tyres for each class? And does it vary from class to class? Thanks.

Radius of 14", that sounds quite small. Is that right?

The rule book(s) are (surprisingly) an excellent read. Especially the parts that define a GT or GTS car.

Well, I'm not merging them yet, if we consider that this one is about tyres, and the other one about rules.

If we have nothing more about tyres, I may do it though...
