I hear you Bill.
When I look at the side clearance of my 215R14, I do question how well the 225's would fit. The other issue is how much extra am I paying to get rims that will support the tire pressure for a 2830# tire. Also, we have to remember that 280 pound upgrade is per tire, giving a 560 pound upgrade overall.
FountainTire was reluctant to give me the 225's, claiming it was way overkill. I'm also thinking that the required tire pressure for these tires would make for an extremely harsh ride unless I'm loading up the trailer that much.
I'm still mulling things over. I have until Friday to make a decision (when the sale ends).
