Hi Jim and thanks for the invite. We stayed at Big Meadows in the Shenandoah from the 3rd to the 8th of Oct and then at Greenbelt DC for 2 days and now at Pokomoke River SP at Snow Hill MD checking on some ancestry. Sorry we missed you but had reservations. Tires are still doing good, but before the next big trip, think I am going to 225 75/15 for added safety. Have been hitting a lot of bad chuck holes in our poorly upkept national highways. The nice thing was the Skyline Drive was newly paved and the park was great, deer and turkey everywhere. Going to Medoc Mountain SP, NC this Sat. for overnight stay and then to Santee SP, SC for a week. Hope to catch up with you, especially in Nova Scotia one of these days.

I am still rolling on the original 205/75R 15 Goodyear Marathon tires that came with the 2207T. I haven't given any thought to replacements as they have less then 3000 miles on them although they are now almost 4 years old. I hope to put a couple of thousand on them and then replace them before the hoped for Alaska trip.

Your 205 75r15 tire fits 15" x 5-1/2" wheels and has a maximum load capacity of 1,820 lbs at 50 psi whereas the 225 75r15 tire fits 15" x 6" wheels and has a maximum load capacity of 2,540 lbs at 65 psi. Granted you get a higher rated tire but to run properly you may need new rims and there also may be a clearance issue. Are you really loading your 28C Hi-Lo to a Gross Vehicle Weight of over 7,280lbs?

I have already reserched the tires and rims and yes I am fully loaded. I think I have plenty of clearance, even with the new rims and tires. I am planning a trip to Alaska and would just like the idea of having a little more leeway on the tire capacity because of possible road conditions. Still haven't made up my mind and might just try it and see how it goes and if it doesn't work then consider myself the test dummy.
 Will keep you posted.
