tires again!
I know tires are beat to death but 2 years ago I bought 4 new Duro tires for my 5th wheel. went on a trip to the outerbanks last weekend and had 2 blow outs and 1 looks like it was about to separate ...

New rims aren't cheap, but better than buying tires every two years (and dealing with blown tires with body damage). So, go with some new 16" rims and Sailun tires to take care of your problem.
I even run 16" tires on my 26' TT for the extra safety margin. They give me a lot more weight capacity and more rear end clearance. No tire problems at all in the two years I've owned it.
