Heavy Duty 15" Radial Tires and 6 hole Rims are common and a good fit if you have no restrictions. You will get about a 2,800 lb rated tire each.

I have a older perm that the builder has 14" 5-hole rims on it and has the tire boxed in to where I cant get a 15" on the axle. Its a 8 X 16 with the wheels under the house up in wheel wells. The house weighs so much I need to get to a 15" so I can get like a 205-75-15 under it to get the rating I need. My only option appears to be pay high $$ for a multi ply 14" trailer grade tire in a C or D class to support the thing.

I paid for the high buck 6ply trailer tires. I cover them in the summer and park on wood.

I guess that few times I get to go fishing...I do not want tire problems.

When you have the fishouse hooked up behind your pickup and are heading to Milac at 3 A.M. in the morning, the best tires you can buy are none too good.

I agree with that for sure. Tires are never compromised and I always carry (2) spares when pulling anything over a couple hours.

The larger of the two houses I have needs to be on Milac as opposed to being pulled there. (lol)

I need the high grade trailer tire just to support the tank and pulling anywhere but on short local ten mile runs isnt even a option. Its a heavy duty built 8 X 16 that needs to be on a big northern lake or a rental unit.

16 foot Ice Castle with V front. I bought it with 4 ply tires on it and on the maiden voyage we loaded it up and headed for Lake of the Woods...usually a 4 hour trip. We got there 13 hours and 400 dollars worth of tires and rims later. Blew 2 tires on the way up. The 2 service stations I went to both specialized in tires and they both told me that they see it all the time. Too low air pressure, too much weight. They suggested running 5 to 10 lbs over the max air pressure if the house is loaded up, we had a portable fish house and 3 coolers in side plus 2 deep cycle and 2 starting batteries (which were also on the side that the tires blew) I now have 6 ply tires and I run a tad bit higher air pressure and have had no problems at all with them. When they were blowing out they would heat up in about 5 miles and blew the sidewalls out. It's well worth the extra money for the 6 ply tires and two spares. Plus the few minutes to check the air pressure each time you leave.

Get yourself some 6-bolt rim, 15" HD Radials. They last forever! I have several thousand miles on mine, and they are in great shape yet! Also helps to put tire covers around them in the summer.
