Do actual tire widths vary from published #'s?

I noticed on Jen’s charts that the Michelin Pro2 tires have a different actual width from what is published. His chart shows the 20 as being 21 and the 23 as being 24. Does anyone know if the 20 actually is 21 which would make it the perfect width for Zipp wheels?

Oh yes, and the Michelin’s do run oddl wider than what is usually depicted on their size charts/labels.
