You can see that it is pinched a little and therfore you cant scrub off the rubber all the way to the edge of the tire.
The tire itself doesnt look that much bigger than the stock 501's that came on the bike.
The improvement in lap times tells the tale. Dont buy this tire if your looking for the "fat" rear tire look. You will be disappointed. If you want a adhesion improvement this tire is for you.

Mine looks exactly like that--I thought the BT016 didn't pinch as the BT003s--but there it is. I don't think this affects the way the tire functions as I've had mine on for 3000+ miles.....but some would argue otherwise. I wonder if the BT045 150 pinches this way?
Anyone have one on their ride that can post a pic?
