I'm currently running the 180-15 Michelins Longstone sells, which are e=
vidently the same as those Coker sells (made in<br>
Serbia by Michelin). Both suppliers list them at 26.8" in diameter. Mi=
ne measure 27" as mounted when measured<br>
horizontally.<br>
<br>
Coker lists the 180 but not the 185. Maybe Ira typed the size incorrectly.<=
br>
<br>
These are period-style higher-profile tires and look and ride great.<br>
