Re: Wheel Wells and Tire Failure
Bill,
If someone does make a 14" D range tire, they don't make themselves very well known. I've looked for several years. I've had one blowout, on the original tires. It happened where there was very little shoulder, on a very busy freeway, between Grand Rapids and Lansing, MI. Fortunately, the blowout occured on the curb side and I was not in a position to be out in the freeway traffic. For as you know, some can't be counted on to give quarter these days. However, back top the story. The said freeways' shoulder was so narrow and then it fell away dramatically. It was near 100 degrees and I don't handle heat and humidity well. Trying to use those load leveling jacks: 1) to lift the trailer off the ground 2) on an angle, in order to change a tire is not my cup of tea. I love my trailer, in spite of the small irritants that keep an owner busy. All RVs have those. But this blown tire situation can be dangerous, if it occurs at an inopportune time and/or location, which Murpy's Law says it will.
Anyway, question - is it feasible to use the 2" lift to get one into a 15" tire for the load range D selection? I truly respect the engineering prowless of so many of you on this board. Is this a solution or not?
Please advise..........George
