It’s about that season where I get my fishing boat back out, as of right now I have 24s but I am selling my black wheels and going with a silver machined wheel. I wanted to go to a 26” with a 295-30-26 but That’s a pretty thin tire and I’m not sure how they would do towing a boat or even for a 2-4 hr trip. The boat is only 21’ and maybe 3000 but never weighed. I don’t want to have to worry about blowouts or damages especially to an expensive wheel like that, other wise I’ll order a 24” again with a 295-35-24. Anyone with experience your info would be appreciated.

id put the stock 22s or 20s back on if your worried. that will give more support since much bigger sidewalls vs a 30 series
