Default Re: Trailer tires - 15 vs. 16

You didn't say how old the existing ST tires are. In case you are considering staying with 15" tires. . . Maxxis says theirs are good for 5 years; some brands specify 4 years. I would never run them longer, and watch for checking in the sidewalls--usually begins near the tread or the bead. I don't load my 15" ST's more than 80% of rating and run them at max air pressure. E's could get hotter due to heavier construction, especially if I underinflate them to match the light load on them. So far, so good with Maxxis, made in Thailand iirc. I avoid China mfg. tires.

My decision went like this, so far--I heard that non-ST tires could give you a hassle at a roadside check because enforcement wants to see trailer rated tires on trailers. If all ST tires are made off-shore, then 16" probably wouldn't give an advantage over 15" tires.
