Upgrading From 16 Inch to 17.5 Inch Trailer Tires? WATCH THIS Before Buying! 👀
Think bigger wheels mean taller tires? WRONG!
Check out this side by side comparison!
ST235/85R16 vs 235/75R17.5
Practically identical in overall height!
ST235/80R16 vs 215/75R17.5
Again, practically the same height!
The difference is so small you can barely notice it!
That makes upgrading to heavy duty 17.5 inch tires and wheels easier than most trailer owners realize.
Plus, our 235/75R17.5 Load Range J tires are rated for 6,005 lbs EACH!
So here’s my question…
If you can get that kind of load capacity without significantly increasing tire height, why are so many trailer owners still running 16s? 👀😂
Are 17.5 inch tires worth the upgrade, or are 16s still the better choice?
Let’s hear it from the hotshot drivers! 👇
