15" vs 16" tires question
new rig came with really nice 15" wheels & tires--but I see some have 16" tires--any advantage to 16" size?

16" gives you more choices in tires.
Personally I have put over 200,000 miles on various 15" NON-CHINESE ST tires. Only issues have been a few repairable nail, punctures. They work ok for me.
I replace tires if they wear out, or get to be 7 years old per DOT code. Often those two events are nip and tuck.
I balance tires, do not overload them, and as said above I do not use Chinese tires. Only 15" choice I know of at this time is Maxxis.
Your experience confirms that they OK on smaller lighter trailers. My one slide 96 26' Terry went on the same set of OEM LRC 15" Marathons until I traded it in the summer of 2004.
