RE: Re: oversize tires

the cost is $30/tire less, replacing 8ply with 8ply.  Has the rubbing
occurred to anyone?  I run at max 65 psi.

A typical load range 'D' 195R14 tire has a cross sectional width that's
nearly a half-inch wider than a 185 at rated inflation. That means the
space between the rear duals is reduced by nearly an inch. Running the
tires at less than the rated inflation will shrink that gap even more.
If the sidewalls start rubbing against each other at the bottom where
they're the widest, a blow-out is almost guaranteed. Also, on some
brands, such as Yokohama's 'Y356' tires, the load rating for the 195 id
lower than the 185.

May I ask what you're expecting to gain by using the 195 over the 185?
