went from 170 to 180

so my question is what kinda pressure you guys rockin in the 180s.. i went out yesterday with 25lbs in it and i couldnt even wheelie straight yet alone do circles.. i never been thrown off and tasted pavement so many times in such a short amount of time.. i really forgot how big of a difference the 180 and 170 tires have, anyone else made this conversion before???
