Need new tires for 2012 R-Pod 177
Question:
How, I am in the process of deciding what tires to get for my trailer and they were 14inch. Can I use 15 inch or do I have to stay with 14? Any recommendations are appreciated

Expert Reply:
The fenders on your 2012 R-Pod 177 will be the limiting factor. I would suggest going with the factory wheel and tire size to prevent any rubbing. As the suspension travels, the tires may make contact with the fender if you did go with a larger size. From the factory it seems like the wheels and tires are 205/75 R14 like this one # TR20514.
When the manufactures design these trailers, they take all of the performance test data in and choose the components that best fit their design. That's why I would not suggest going with a larger tire and wheel like the one you are looking at # AM10251, but we have many different options that fit your factory wheel and tire size.
