From the Goodyear site:
ST215/75R14 diameter = 26.6",
ST225/75R15 diameter = 28.3",
1.7" difference.
I measured the space between the 14" tires on my 3326 = 2.8".
With 15 inch tires this space would be = 1.1".
Is this enough? What happens if one tire throws a tread?

maybe I'm seeing your math different... but that would be 1.7 difference per tire. if your measuring the space between the tandem axles tires at 2.8. but both tires would be a larger diameter not just the one. 1.7 x 2 = 3.4 for the total diameter difference of 14in tires vs 15in tires. No?
