Well silly be got 120/70-12 instead of 110/70-12's what's the best way to mount them on the stock 1.85" rims.

when you go to fit them,
leave the tyres in the sun for a while to heat up and soften, and use a little detergent water to help them slip over the rim.
sometimes you wont need tools to do it.
make sure as you fit the tyre, that the bead sits in the centre recess of the rim, otherwise you'll stretch/deform the beads

To easy so I'm not crazy wanting to fit them on a rim that size.

well, they'll have a lot of wall bulge, and move around a bit on the corners
what pressure do you run in them normally

I'll prolly over pressure them. It's a new build never ridden it, well I lie I rode it 100m till I came of then the bike rode me.
