    297 RSTS-Tire Question

    I have read several threads on the different size tires that came on the 297 RSTS and wondering if anyone has gone up a size from what came originally.

    My 2019 came with 225/75/R15 and I would like to go with a R16, guess I should just call GD and see what they say, was hoping someone had made the transition and could share some real world knowledge.

    My 297RSTS came from the factory with 235/80R16 tires so I don't think this should be a problem. I will note that mine also had a recall due to these 16" tires as there was not enough clearance to the slideout ram and tire could hit the ram. GD add about 1 - 2" drop to the shackles to give the additional clearance. Unfortunately I don't have pictures to show you and trailer is in winter storage. It can be done and that was one reason of many that I bought this trailer as the tires had lots of capacity for the trailer. If I get to the trailer in the next couple of weeks I can take pics and post.

    Rob,

    Thank you, if you get a chance would like to see the modification they made to the shackles. I installed the MORryde SRE 4000 so wondering if that would give me the clearance I need.
