I would suggest you keep the same inflation pressure for all tests. Just choose one. It could be one of sidewall pressures or the placard or something in between, but the same gauge reading.

Or for a bit of additional complexity, you could test the tires at the same load carrying capacity which you would get by adjusting the inflation pressure appropriately for each size.

At any rate, don't use the sidewall pressure if they are different. That's just one more variable in the mix.

Oh and one last quibble! The size is 185/60R15. 15" not 16"!
