I just put a set of TowMasters on my Raptor and have around 4000 miles on them. I've replaced one tire already. When I need tires again I will buy 16" wheels and LT tires, probably Michelin.

I just put all new 16" Eagle series 058 rims on with G rated 14 Ply 105lbs pressure tires 7 all together they look great. Tow good as well. Added 5th AirBorne Pin box so the whole thing rides better. I have a Raptor 3319

Lots and Lots of posts on here about aftermarket wheels/tires.

I run the Eagle Alloy Wheels with Michelin XPS Rib tire. Best E rated LT tire on the market.

Slink, Are your Eagle 058's stamped 60 psi max. like the ones I just bought? I bought 16x7 058's rated at 3040 lbs. per and they are stamped 60 psi max. Notice you run yours to 105, I plan on running mine at 80 with BFG Commercial E rated. Wheel guy told me it wouldn't be a problem. Curious why they stamp a 3040 lb wheel for 60 psi??

I just replaced my 15 inch wheels/tires for 16s. I ended up with the same rim (except it is now 16 inches) and Michelin tires. My rim looks just like the Eagle Alloys in Lincster's picture above. If you are staying w/15s, I would make you a great deal on my old 15s.

Lincster those are lookn pretty sweet. What size tires are those, it looks like you have a lot of room in between.

Those tires are the 225/75/16 size. I got that size cause on my first trailer, FS3000, it was at the stock height so I had to go the smaller 16" tire to fit.
When I ordered my current LE Warrior, I had Warrior add in a 2" spacer to the frame to lift the trailer more.
So, now I can fit the 235/85 tire size when/if the time comes to get new tires.
