Just thinking here…

Switch to a 15” LT tire with new rims and tires assuming there is room, normally requiring a size and load range update…
Preference is to go to an All Steel LT upgrade in 16”
Or to go from a P rated 205x15 on a 5” rim, to a LT235/85R16 load range G on a 6.5” rim… or from the current 5430 tire load limit that is on the 7000GVWR trailer, to a 15,000 tire load limit for that same 7000GVWR trailer…
I am way ahead of all of this… here is my new tires being balanced… the added advantage is they without the added expense they will be like a run flat under my trailer… no TPMS needed…
