16" conversion with LT tires again
I have a WW fs3000 3 axle toyhauler, always used Maxxis 225 75 15 E tires never a failure until last month didn't even know and scratched up my siding a bit, so I am contemplating doing the 16" switch...

the rims I wanted were out of stock they told me a couple weeks at least, weekend warrior style so I decided in the interim to buy some new st tires, I actually had good luck with maxxis and westlake, turns out the new westlake st tires have a very similar design to the maxxis with a nylon cap, got 6 on ebay 225 75 15 10 ply E tires for 491.00 shipped to my door, then the next day my rims showed up........go figure. I'll use these for a year or so and then do the LT conversion, one thing I noticed on the westlake tires is the DOT code showed they were made 2 months ago and the max speed rating is now 75 mph vs 65 mph. The westlakes seem to be a very nice beefy tire much like the maxxis but around 80 a tire vs 130. no tax and free shipping too.
When it comes to tires, u get what u pay for.
