Hello all,
My wife and I have a 2008 Airstream International Series M-23D Ocean Breeze. We’ve owned it since December 2012. The tires we have on there now are Goodyear Marathons ST215/75R14 and are 7 years old. We believe they are the original tires that came with the trailer.
On a recent trip at a gas stop, I noticed that one of the tires was showing some very unusual wear and I later learned that the tire was beginning to “separate from the inside”. Of course, I changed out the one tire at the gas stop before continuing home.
Needless to say, I’d like to replace all these old tires with new ones before our next trip. If we stay with our current 14 inch wheels, what is the preferred tire recommendation out there?
Additionally, on a recent trip to Ohio, we ran into some folks that had just been to Alumapalooza at the factory there. They said they were talking to Andy Thomson and that he recommended the Michelin P235/75R x 15XL tire for their trailer. Our trailer has 14inch rims, so this size wouldn’t work for us. But what do folks think about the Michelins? Is there a benefit to having 15” rims instead of 14” rims? Is this something we should consider for our Airstream? Can our Airstream model even accommodate 15” rims?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
