Moving from a 15" tire to a 16" tire has been a great upgrade for many years. Did mine the first time in the '70s. Back then trailers ran P or 15" light truck tires so moving up to 16" truck tires gave us more capacity/cooler running tires/less parasitic drag and a easier ride.
Today with only a couple of 15" LT sizes the 16" LT tires on 5k and 6k axles is the best upgrade.
