Benefits Or Consequences Of Installing Larger Tires On 8x4 Utility Trailer
Question:
What are the benefits or consequences of installing larger tires on an 8x4 utility trailer? Disregard the aspect of clearance in the response.
asked by: Jo C
Expert Reply:
The benefits of installing larger tires are somewhat related to clearance in every way with the exception of the possiblility of additional capacity, having a radial tire option if you increase wheel size, and having broadened options of style.
The consequences are possiblilty of adding sway or roll based on slightly higher center of gravity.
Every other reason whether positive or negative would deal with clearance. Not only ground clearance, but also frame clearance and fender clearance.
