We picked up what looks like a chunk of metal in one of the tires day one so it's making the decision to upgrade the tires that much easier. We have a Cougar 316RLS with the 235/80/16s and I was wondering if there was adequate spacing between the axles to jump up to an 85 series tire (rear levelers quit working so it's currently in the shop). I'm reasonably certain they'll fit without issue but not sure if I'll be able to squeeze the X-Chocks in there.
I'm looking at the Goodyear Endurance 85 series; it is advertised at 31.7" vs the OEM Raineers at 30.8". I'm wanting to go a bit taller so I can offset some of the rake we have on the trailer since we're nose high a good bit. I'm hoping to make up the rest of it by replacing the B&W gooseball (love it) with something like the Reese Elite (looks like there is at least an inch and half difference between them).
Rear bags are slightly under-inflated on the truck so it didn't exacerbate the issue.
