I'm looking to replace my Raptor tires. I'm going to replace my st225-75-15 with 16" Michelin Ribs.
Those of you that have replaced your tires, What size Michelin's did you upgrade to?
Thanks, Todd

I went with 225/75/16 but only cause I didn't have the clearance on my first trailer.
If I had the room, I would do the 235/86/16. They have the highest load rating.
Good call on changing to those tires.

I have an 08 Fuzion 373 (Raptor twin) that came with the 07 15" rims, I put Denman load range E 15" on. We just towed over 5500 miles with no issues. Tires got warm, not hot. I was tempted to go to 16", but I like the factory look. Remember to check axle alignment if you are having any issues. I drive 65 to 68 max. Good luck.

The tires are on an 08 raptor, they only have about 8000-9000 mi. on them. One tire has a blister about 1/2 in. x2 in. on the side wall. Two others have areas on the side wall that just doesn't look right.I keep these tires aired up at 65 psi and check before this rig rolls.The tires just look "squishy" Keystone should have put "e" rated tires on this thing, 15 in "d" doesn't seem heavy enough for me, imo.
