I have been looking for a better quality tire for my 5th wheel and it seems that i'm limited by my 15 inch rims. I'm currently running a 225/75-15 tire and the wheels are rated at 60psi max. Who sells replacement rims for 5th wheels in a 16 inch size with a greater working pressure? My axles are 6 lug.

I went to Discount Tire, Picked up 5 rims and tires, one trip! Feel much better with better tires!

I bought 16" aluminum wheels from shadowtrailer.com and put 225x75x16 E LT tires to replace my 225x75 15 D. Peace of mind, priceless.

We made the same upgrade several years ago. A lot more choices with 16" wheels. Just ensure that you have enough room between the tires. Good luck.

I got my 16" 6x5.5 wheels from etrailer.com last year. $195 to the door. I think they are rated 3050 lbs/90 psi and they are American made. Dunlop Rover HT's from discount tire. $605 promotion price. Craig

You've already got enough info on where to buy. Going to a 16 inch wheel and load range E tires was my best improvement yet. Aluminum wheels make a rig look nice too.
