Re: Trailer tires - 15 vs. 16
certain models of Ford products like Rangers/Mariners/Explorers/LSC came with 16x6 x4 1/2 BC 5 lug wheels also some Jeeps and Mopars you'll hafta look,, mine are Ford Ranger pick up truck wheels put LT225/70R/16 load range E tires on my trailer ---if you are concerned about tire clearance look at the charts to see what the width/diamter will be compared to what you currently have in 15in then get a 16in tire that approximates that size---keep em inflated to the max on the tiresidewall and keep your speed down too-I know guys say they run 80MPH all day long but HEAT is what kills a tire 60-65 MPH is fast enough you'll get there maybe 15 minutes behind him but at least you wont blow a tire--also plan on new tires about every 4-5 years regardless of the mileage!!!!!!!----FED 387
