Depends on what forum you read. The OE tires on Airstream TTs are almost all 14" & 15". Their OE tires suffer early - less than 3 years - failures and just as often as other forum 16" tires.
Good point. Lots of other RV websites for gleaning info for choosing a better tire regardless of size. And as I keep harping its not all just RV websites but pages and pages of other forums that some type of trailer is used for recreational/commercial type purposes.
Thats important for a new person as he may see what 2-3 brand supporters claims based on just their experience for a year or two on one forum vs dozens of other RV and different trailer type forums owners have found that actually works and has for years.

Very seldom does a poster provide information about the validated cause of a tire failure. As a frequent poster in tire forums you will get chastised severely for mentioning under inflation, overloading and excess speed as the cause of failures.
Agree some what.... but IMO its not just pressure/load or speed comments that gets those folks chastised but claiming the owner who reported his tires were not over loaded and he does not speed and his tires had max pressures was lying IMO is why one will get chastised.
The posting beat goes on with very little useful information.
Excellent point especially information like;
" Just dont size up to michelin's LT's".
