I currently have Goodyear G614 tires on our fifth wheel (see signature). This is what came on the trailer when we bought it new in 2013. I am looking at new tires and am trying to understand why the G614 tires (235/85R16) have a diameter of 30.7 inches whereas all other 235/85R16 tires have a diameter of 31.7 inches.
If I switch tire brands I don't know if a 1 inch larger tire will fit in my wheel wells.
Does anyone know why the Goodyear G614 tires have a smaller diameter than every other tire brand? Even the Goodyear Endurance 235/85R16 has a diameter of 31.7 inches. (I have no intention of dropping to an E range tire - the Endurance is just an example).
Thanks for any input.
When in doubt, just measure your trailer's axle spacing, center to center. Dexter says 1" clearance is the minimum spacing for tires on their axles. I don't know about others.
