Post by KKV270 »

Hi.
Wanted to do a tire change but can't access any 155/165 sizes. Question, has anyone put 185/.... and had it work for them without changing anything?

I'm surprised because 185s are generally harder to find than 165s.

I have 185s on the back of my Cal Looker, and they look great. But I think they're too big for the front.

I settled for a pair of 185s on the back wheels. Question,how much pressure would be recommendedin this case?

I run slightly higher than stock tire pressures all around, usually 20 psi front and 24 psi rear. But this is approximate because all tire gauges are not created equal.
