| If you do get in, you will find that it is much harder to get out.  Mine 
(165-15) fits very tightly, and was almost impossible to pull back out after 
6 or 8 months.  The tire tends to stick to the bottom of the "bag" and pull 
the bag out w/ it.  Big wad.  After I finally worked it out, I put the tire 
in a heavy plastic cover to provide a smoother surface for  sliding.  Have 
not tried to pull it out again.  Might get lucky.
