Trailer tires - 15 vs. 16

drace69 · 06-09-2014, 11:00 AM

Well see I have trailer tires starting to come apart again.

I Said after the last set that I wasn't going to do this again so am looking at changing over to 16" rims as it seems that is the best option for getting away from this issue as much as possible.

I know this has probably been beat to death before so bare with me if you will.

Few questions:

1) How did you determine if 16" rims would work with existing axle spacing (mine looks to have about 4.5" between the 15" Maxxis 10 plys (225/75/15) that are on there now).

2) What/where is the best place to get the new rims.

3) What is the best 16" tire for this application after the switch.

Again I know this has been discussed before but any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
