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.Brian-USMC Retired

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.Brian-USMC Retired
