Hello first time user. I have a 2020 Silverback 31IK. I want to replace my 235/80/R16 tires. Has anyone replaced with 17 inch tires. I like to if there is enough room

Thread has been moved from the Welcome Mat forum to the Running Gear, Axles, Brakes, Tires & Frames forum since it's not a new member introduction but a question about tires.

Just curious why do you want to change the rims to 17 inch??

X2. That was my first thought... Why? If you currently are running LR E I would move to a LR G 14 ply, but definitely not change to 17".

Today’s newer cars, when you can option 17, 18, or even 19 inch tires, it’s usually an appearance or sport thing to have the different offerings. Bigger rims have lower sidewall tires for stiffer cornering.

What are you trying to accomplish with upsizing your trailer? Aggressive cornering improvements? Looks?

just looking to get a better tire that will last thinking bigger is better or what brand 16 inch is the best for long trips without blowouts?

I stopped having tire issues when I moved from a load range E tire to a 14ply load range G tire. Also seriously improves highway sway from wind or semis.

Currently running Hercules All Steel H-901 ST235/80R16
