Trailer tires - 15 vs. 16

KennyAnderson · 06-12-2014, 04:21 PM

Hey guys, pretty new to this board but been in the trailer business for 12 years strong. Maxxis makes about the best 15" E-rated tire I have found. If you are getting 4-5 years out of any 15" tire you are doing FANTASTIC! If you have smaller wheelboxes or close axles you can still go to a 16" wheel/tire. Goodyear makes a 225/75R16 E rated LT tire that is one tough mf'er. There are a few others that mfg this size but the GY is the only one I have personal experience with. Honestly I have a LQ trailer that I run LT's on and if I can get 5 years I feel like I hit the LOTTO!
