2021 Mojo trailer 15's or 18's??
ok, so ordering a new mojo - do I want 15's or 18's on my trailer?
I had 15"s (or whatever the smaller size was) on my 2018 - and now looking at a 2021 - I selected 18's.. but want to know pros and cons?
I hear that that smaller ones actually hold more weight (which, I will potentially be trailering with lead).. so that's a plus..
the downside is I just didn't like how it looked on the max (they looked too small for the boat)... so I ordered 18's but understand that apparently they aren't as good in terms of the weight they hold? How big of a difference are we talking about?
Am I making a big mistake going 18's?
any difference in the trailer "ride"?
thanks!!

Our max was 4500 + 850 (5,350).. and had 15's
Are we close to a theoretical maximum here.. or am I being a drama queen? (King?)
Or, if I went with 300 lbs less in lead (500) - which I was maybe planning on... (same weight) ... would it be ok?
Same handling characteristics would you say? As far as bounce / rear sag of truck?
Of course I would never trailer with lead *asking for a friend.....

Speaking tire ratings only.....4 Nitto 420s (Boatmate tire of choice) 255/55/R18 XL will carry 9084# maximum.
There is a nexen n’fera option 255/45/18 that drops to a 7716# rating that I would not recommend.
4 trailer king 225/75/15 D will carry 10,196# maximum.
You are well under that with 5650# boat and 1500# trailer.
Just to add trailer height data.
255/55/18 tire is 29” tall
225/75/15 tire is 28.3” tall
Technically you would only raise trailer height 1/2 of 0.7”= 0.35”
My only issue with the trailer king 15’s are they are a Chinese tire, so take that for what it’s worth.
