How wide is a ST185?

Well, the obvious, right? The ST185 is wider by about 10 mm, or roughly 0.4 inches. The extra width also means it is proportionally taller, about 0.3". As long as you have room under the fenders, it's a good upgrade. Most trailers will easily handle that small difference, but measure to be sure. Remember that the suspension flexes, so the tire moves up and down and needs clearance for that.
