Depends on whether you bought the tubeless option or not. Dayton makes them
both ways.

Hopefully this is obvious ... the 185s will NOT go in the spare tire
compartment even mounted on a 48 spoke wheel.
In fact, 165 tires on stock rims are a very tight fit in the spare tire
compartment on pre-60K TR2/3. After years of having to keep a rope tied
around the spare and still struggling to get it out or in, I switched to a
T125/90-15 "compact spare" tire mounted on an original rim.
And of course if you do need the spare, the road tire gets to ride to a
repair station behind the seats.
