My 2011 Showhauler, with a single rear axle, came with 275/80R22.5 rear tires. In the big truck world, 11R22.5 is a common size, which is one inch larger in diameter and has a greater load rating. Has anyone switched to the 11R22.5's? It would be feasible to run these tires for maybe three years, and then be able to sell them to a trucker who will wear them out, instead of just throwing them away after maybe five years. I am pulling a 28 ft. trailer, with only one car and a pit cart, so I doubt the 450 HP engine will suffer from the change in over-all gear ratio.
