16 inch Wheel and Tire Recommendation for 2015 Thor Crossroads RV
Question:
I am interested in the 16inch tires product number TTWPRG235R16. My question is, now I have 15inch rims and I want to upgrade to these 16. I have plenty of room but could you provide me with some options of either a tire and rim combo or point me to which rims will work. I currently have a 2015 Crossroads by thor 5th wheel with the standard 15inch tires. I will need the 5 tires and rims so that I will have a spare.

To go to a 16 inch wheel and tire will basically require you to have either a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern or an 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern. Since 15 inch trailer wheels typically have either a 5 on 4-1/2 inch or a 6 on 5-1/2 inch we can assume the only way you'll be able to upgrade is if you have the 6 lug pattern.
Which if that is the case the best option you'd have would be # TA39VR which has a simple white wheel design.
This has the tire size ST235/80R16 installed on it and an 81-mph rating, 3,520-lb max load at 80 psi, and a 2-year warranty.
