The early '90's 2720 had 13" tires. They were upgraded to 14" as the weight of the TM increased with the additional options and features that the customers (we) wanted. TM upgraded again when it became apparent that the 14" where no longer doing the job. I don't think that this time the problem was with TM as much as it was with the tire manufacturers. A lot of tire manufacturing has been moved offshore and the tires were manufactured closer to the minimum specifications. All in the name of profit.

....will 15" tires/rims work without the lift kit for the remaining leg of my trip?....I know that the goodyear guy told me the size of the 15" tires and it looks to me that they will fit in the wheel well but with closer clearance to the top of the wheel well (about 3" or so)

I seem to remember that 3" is the minimum clearance for the tire & wheel well.
