Can I put 15 inch tires on a North Trail?

Does anyone know if you could put 15 inch tires on a North trail 21FBS trailer? It comes with 14 inch tires.

Bob66, You can as long as the OD is close and the tires section width doesn't interfere with the suspension or anything else. Tires and axles tend to twist and flex while backing into tight spots and can rub on shocks or anything close. That said, do a little research. There are charts showing tires size and availability. Look for a comparable diameter tire in a 15" size. Then you'll need to find wheels with the same bolt pattern.

Hi, If you decide to change to 15" tires, please let me know how that turns out. We have a 22FBS & I am thinking of doing that as well.

What is the advantage to tire size change? My unit is 2013, just arrived from Mfg. Co. Are these tires still " China Bombs "? When can I expect my first blow -out..?
