I used a Pace trailer for years and it was business as usual to have a couple of tire failures every season with the 15" tires. When I bought my current Featherlite it came with 16" and I have gone six years with no tire related problems. (knock on wood) I replaced the tires this past year only because they were getting old and not because of wear. It just doesn't make sense to use 15" tires anymore! I mean don't we have enough to worry about these days without having to wonder whether or not we will even make it to or from the track because of trailer tires? Jim

Measure the height of the inside boxes on the wheels. If they are about 15", it will convert to a 16" tire. If they are short, like a Pace is, it's really hard to convert. They have to have an option on tires or axles. Check on a 6000lb 8 lug wheel/tire deal. Very inexpensive when you order. Worth the money.
