I hope I don't regret asking this or end up down a rabbit hole, but here goes.
This is not about passenger tires or Light truck tires vs. trailer tires
The 17" wheels that I had earmarked for my trailer are on national back-order except for a 19" version which puts me into a 285/45-19.
I see tons of DCBs/ Eliminators/Pontoons/Howards running 18s, 19s even 20s with shorter aspect ratio sidewalls.
For those who ACTUALLY HAVE these, have you been experiencing flats, tire damage at an accelerated rate due to the shorter sidewall?
Do you regret running the taller wheels, limiting your selection of tire size?
If you are asking yourself why not just find another wheel?
I have spent hours and hours looking at wheels that will match the color of the boat, bolt pattern options and offset constraints while staying on a budget.
Every alternate I find I think I will regret later once my original choice comes back in stock.
Last option is to just get the cheapest wheel from mfr and change later but that just wastes money???
Thanks
