Replacing the tires on our Shadow Cruiser 260BHS. Going to go with Goodyear Endurance. I'm thinking of upsizing from ST205/75R14 to ST215/75R14 to get a little extra load carrying capacity (gain 640#). I think the rims are 5.5" wide and there is plenty of clearance. Any problems?
Thanks,
Excellent choice.
26.1 vs 26.7 diameter ....or just over a 1/4" less space at the top of the wheel well to the top of the tire. Simply not enough to worry about.
I like a taller tire as it lets the vehicle ride a bit better. Going to a load D tire increases harsh ride ie; over RR tracks/potholes or just a rough road surface.
Now if I needed more load capacity in my tires to carry more weight then a load range uprate would be a good option.
