Upsizing tires
Hey all!! I'm new to the forum just picked up my 2016 whitehawk 28dsbh. Wondering if anyone has gone from a 14" tire to a 15" tire. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

what's your reasoning behind it? You can get for the 14" rims Goodyear Endurance tires with a load carrying capacity of 2200 lbs.

Looking to gain a bit of extra clearance. I find the steps are hanging fairly low for my liking as we do a fair bit of gravel roads.

You only gain a 1/2" to 3/4" lift with 15" tires
