The trailer axels are 6 lug, I want to replace the tires, but I remember reading up on getting 16” trailer wheels to get Light duty truck tires, is this correct? Right now it’s a 15” wheel.
They are talking about the Truck Rib tires. They have a very thick tread and a stronger sidewall than ST tires. Typically a ST tire has a higher weight rating than the Ribbed tires. Michelin XP Rib, Bridgestone R250, there others I see on this forum that have put on Sailun.
I already had 16" on the Ragen when I got it, the previous owner had already blown an ST tire. I put Bridgestone R250 on mine. I made sure the combined weight rating of two R250 tires exceeded the weight rating of one trailer axle. I've had good success with them after 3+ years and a lot of trips - lots of tread still.
Make sure the overall diameter of a new tire will fit. You have complete vertical suspension movement without hitting your inner fender. Make sure the tandem tires do not hit each other on tight turns.
If you keep the ST tires and wheels, consider a higher weight range than you might have now - maybe all the way to a "G" rated tire. I think a "G" rated tire pressure is 110lbs. Make sure your wheels can handle the higher air pressure of a "G" rated tire.
