Upsize tires

[jproctor9]

Does anyone see any harm in upgrading from 205/75/15 Westlake China bombs, to 225/75/15 Goodyears?
I have maybe less than 2500 kms on my new Westlakes on a new 2023 Transcend 200mk, and I had one blow out in the fall. I want to upgrade to the Goodyear Endurance, but up a size and rating.
My Westlakes are D, and the Goodyears are E.
I want to use the same black steel rims.
99% of my camping is on crown land(blm)- dry camping using rough gravel roads.

I did this on our 2400BH with no adverse effects over 15K miles. I still run them at 65psi although load tables say I could run lower.

When I bought my 2020 260RD fifth wheel Reflection I required the dealer to remove the Westlake tires and move to the Goodyear Endurance. Why!! The Westlake did not have a good history and they were rated at 65 mph tires. Moving to the Endurance let me run at a lower PSI and over 65, while I'd never do 80 mph per their rating. Just a much safer tire!!

I ended up buying a set and installed them. No clearance issues at all! Glad I went with the 225s and E-rated!

Anytime I have the chance I dump 205/75R15 tires and replace them with 225/75R15 10 plys. I have never had an issue doing this and the heavier tires last better.
