2” overall height difference--23 to 21? Maybe 9% smaller? Big saving when making 000’s of tires.

Another example of "shrinkflation"..... I noticed the other day there has been a lot of food packaging getting smaller too. Just an example a box of Ritz crackers is not near as tall as it used to be :wacko:.

Right - about 8 years old

One made in USA, one not...

Unfortunately, not a new problem.

Yeah, but a box of crackers isn't advertised as being a particular size. Tires with a given size rating not being that size could be grounds for false advertising lawsuits. It happened to Lowes a while back because all their lumber was listed at the common sizes and not the actual sizes.
