CAUTION:
If you are going to do A-B-A testing, EVERYTHING has to be the same, except for the item under test.
There are differences in RR between new and worn tires, tires of different speed ratings, tires with different load carrying capacities, not to mention tires of different makes and models.
Just swapping out 155's with 185's isn't going to tell you anything of value unless you control a whole lot of other things.
