Tire Replacement
Has anyone replaced their ST205s with ST215s?

The issue is going to be whether or not you have clearance to the underside of the trailer with tires of a larger diameter. The stock suspension will have 2-1/2 to 3" of travel. You can measure the clearance you have now, subtract three inches, and use this tire size calculator to see if the increased diameter would leave too little clearance for safety:

Thanks. The difference in diameter is .6 inches and the width is .4 inches. Even though I have the clearance I’m sticking with the ST205s.

I’ve never seen a 215 size, ST225/75R15 is common upgrade size. I considered it in the spring and looking back I kinda wish I did go bigger. I was planning on adding sumosprings at the time and now that I have I don’t have any concerns with floor contact. The bigger tires would handle our terrible roads better and help in the soft soils of some of the campgrounds we have frequented lately.
