I am reading everyone's reply and have read almost every thread I could find on tires and heck...……..I still cant decide what to do. Thanks!!!
Understandable on a rv website. When it comes to tires on a trailer everyone has a opinion.
Some opinions are based on what that owner did on one or two trailers.
Another opinion may be based on no experience but just a opinion based on tire mfg hype.
Others may be full timers with several trailers and many years of using trailers.
Others may have pulled commercially with hundreds of thousands of miles using this type of equipment using dozens of tires.
So yeah its hard for new folks to decide what going to work best for their situation.
AS others have said going from your OEM 225/75-15 to a 235/85-16 will gain around 1.7" in height.
It’s the OP that said he’s gaining 1.7 with the 16” tires. He knows where he wants to go , just needs a tire that works . IMO 90-95 psi in a G rated tire is not a bad choice .
