You are correct in thinking the numbers have minimal value, at best...they are all based on customer survey information, and considering that most people don't drive the same vehicle back to back with different tires, let alone do so and measure the differences it's really hard to make any strict sense of them. For performance tires sometime you can find magazines (or the tirerack) doing back to back testing...same car, different tires, instrumented tests. Anything less is so highly subejctive...does a ultra high performance tire with an 8.2 in dry grip, grip better than touring tire that scores a 9.2.....
There is nothing wrong with going to limit of the tires wheel size, but keep in mind that will usually give the largest contact patch, so its all about what you are trying to achieve.
