16" vs 15" wheels on larger Tt
What is the general opinion on wheel size for a larger TT? I'm talking 9500 dry and 11000 loaded? Thanks

Bigger tires and a host of other things are often added to the standard TT and TV equipment because the manufacturers use the cheapest product that will do the job.
The objective is "improve" the durability and give the illusion of safety.
Improving durability is relatively straight forward, almost every product comes in a heavy duty version that runs faster or longer.
Safety on the other hand is far more elusive because it often depends on the human element.
I have yet to see credible data that shows the percentage of LT tires that shread is any less than P or the dreaded STs. Or a 3/4 ton will out last a 1/2 ton if both are properly loaded.
Upgrading to tougher, stronger, and faster is like chicken soup, it cannot hurt but the margin of safety is only as good as the person using it.
