Subject: 2017.5 tire and wheel upgrade
Posted: 23 Feb 2017 at 8:27am
About to pick up new 178 from dealer. The new models have the new axles which lift the trailer a couple of inches, like the risers would do for the Hood River model. They still come with the fourteen inch wheels however and I am wondering if anyone has done a fifteen inch wheel/tire upgrade and if it makes any real difference in the look, handling, and ground clearance capability (I intend to go on mountain forest roads). Forest River will sell the upgrades tire/rim for $275 x3 or $750. No rebate on the exchanges. Anyone have an opinion on whether this would be worth it?
