Question: Anyone else put 235-85-R16 tires on their triple axle Cyclone? Did you have clearance issues between any of the tires?
Not that I was looking to get with the "in-crowd" but I've now had one of the TowMax tires fail on our 2011 Cyclone 3950. Disappointing to say the least. The DOT code puts the tires at week 14 of 2010, consistently close to the manufacture date on the 5th Wheel of August 2010.
Under 7000 miles and a belt deformation visually showed up on one tire, which the experts tell me was not from an impact or other road-induced problem. Two of the other 6, when I took them off, looked suspicious to my untrained eye, but that's irrelevant as all 6 tires are now replaced with Carlisle on the recommendation of my tire guy. The F-rated model here: http://www.carlisletransportationproducts.com/product/tires/trailers-toy-haulers-towables/tires43
I feel a bit better with an effective 16,000 pound capacity on just one side of the trailer with these F rated units.
I think somebody else has put the larger tires on their Cyclone, on the forum, but couldn't tell for sure looking through tonight. The clearance between the front two axles is pretty tight, though I still have the jacks under one side (changed 4 tires today, the other 2 go tomorrow). Pretty tight as in I can't quite squeeze my hand between them, but quite a bit more room between the middle/rear tires. Again, my trailer is not settled at the moment, so there may be some movement to go when the jacks come out from the opposite side.
