Default Tread width on GoodYear GSD3

Could someone measure their GSD3 295/35-18's across the tread please.
I know I can get the specs off tire rack, but I would like the actual width of the tread that touches the pavement.
The Yokohama avs sport are about 10 7/8" across.
Other tire brand widths are welcome.
