    New tires

    I want to upgrade the tires on my reflection 303rls, I currently have ST 235/80 R16 and would like a heavier duty and a tire a little bigger maybe an R18? Any suggestions on a better tire?

    Are you buying new rims too? The R16 means the rim is 16" diameter, you cant just switch to an R18 tire.

    Search the forum and read on tires - there are dozens, if not hundreds, of threads on the topic. There is likely not enough clearance on your 303 (between the top of the tire and the underside of the trailer) for an 18" wheel and tire. Other things to consider... if you put a higher load range tire on your 303, you'll still want to run it at the 80 PSI specified on the sticker on your trailer. The heavier sidewall of a load range G tire on a trailer as light as your 303 would also result in a stiffer ride and would be harder on the trailer. My recommendation is to look into the Goodyear Endurance load range E in the same size you now have. They are better quality and more reliable than the Westlake load range E tires.
