Did you order the larger 15 inch rims through Keystone? The rims look like the original Bullet rims.

Same with our 2011. Still in great shape. Actually last season made 5 years we have had it so we are replacing the original tires now. We are upgrading from 14" load range C to 15" load range D on new rims. We figured we would upgrade for an added safety margin.
How does upgrading tire range and even size work? I too am getting ready to replace our original 5 year old tires which are down to the wear indicators. Can I go up in tire range a bit on the original rims? And then I have to replace the rims if I move up to size 15 tires? I plan on keeping our Bullet for another 5 seasons/years before I near retirement and we probably make our next move up the a Class A for full timing or near full timing.
Also thinking of doing the suspension upgrade, like the Dexter E Z Flex? Has anyone on here done that yet to their Bullet?
Yes, you can go to a load range D tire on the original 14" rims. Over on the Keystone forum the members explained how it is an improvement but only temporarily. I will provide the link if you are interested.
Keystone forum
Basically, a 14" load range C tire has approx 1740 lbs capacity, a 14" load range D has an approx 2000 lb capacity, and a 15" load range D has an approx 2540 lb capacity. The GVWR of my camper is 7600 lbs and with a 10% per year degradation in capacity per tire, they warned the tires could be overloaded after a year or two.
The tires were priced within a few dollar of each other, so, the real extra cost to me was about 350.00 for 4 new aluminum rims and 1 steel rim ( spare tire ). Since we are keeping the trailer for several more years, I figured it was worth it.

Where has everyone gone to purchase tires? Make/Price. Did you bring the camper down or did you bring the tires down to be changed off the rims.
