I've also read that 185R14 = 185/82R14.  Here's how they compare to some
other common sizes out there:


Width   Height(%)       Rim dia(")      Diameter        Circ (cm)
185     82              14              65.9            206.9
195     75              14              64.8            203.5
205     70              14              64.3            201.8
