tire mounting question

to tell you the truth this tire looks really wide for a 160... i currently have a 190 on the back of this bike and it doesnt look that much skinnier. I have put it side byb side with a 180 and it looks very comparable... anyways with all the rain we have been getting i have only been able to squeeze out maybe a 1k miles worth of riding and this tire only has to get me a month. So ill put it on and order up a new set of tires over the winter. The bike only sees the streets and a good majority of it is highway considering i have a 75mile commute to work that i take it on when the days are nice. I will throw it into a corner when i can but i dont push it on the streets
