225/75R15 tires
I replaced the tires on my utility trailer with take offs from our travel trailer. Both trailers have 225/75R15 tires. The ones from the travel trailer ended up being over 2 inches taller? Have any of y'all ever run into this before?

- I agree with JIMNLIN that narrower rims could make a difference, but two inches is a lot.
- The tires that were on the travel trailer had less than 300 miles when I took them off. I didn't trust them, China Goodyear Marathons. There is nothing wrong with them. If I knew how to post a pic I would.
- Sounds like the tire that is two inches taller has separated tread/belts issues.
Also a narrow width wheel can cause the tire to balloon the center of the tires tread. - I know there should not have been that much of a difference....but there was. I found it very odd. I just hope they will fit under the fenders of the utility trailer.
- Unless one set of tires was low on air enough that the trailer sat 2" lower...they weren't the same. You might get a 1/2" difference if one set has fresh tread and the other is bald but it's unlikley to be 2" worth of difference.
