Upgrading axles
I have a 22' arctic fox and I want to upgrade the axles to go from 15" tires to 16" tires. Any advice or guidance on how to proceed is greatly appreciated. My current wheels are 5 x 4.5 x15".

if you have adequate axles ( my bet is it has 3500 pound axles ) and are simply wanting to go to a tire that has adequate load capacity and a higher speed rating, then an example would be to switch to goodyear cargo g26. In a 225-15, they have 2470 lb. capacity. So that is nearly 10,000 pounds of load capacity under a trailer with what, about 6000 pounds sitting on the axles, all loaded to go ( isn't your trailer about 7000 GVWR ) ??
I have seen those tires online but I can't source them in Canada so I've decided to go with an axle flip and 16" tires. Right now I'm running Goodyear wrangler ht with no issues. Do a lot of off road camping so the extra clearance will be nice.
