First of all, 16" wheels/tires allow for more weight to be placed on them than 15". Not real important on a light weight trailer like the cruiser. Most importantly, much higher quality tires available in 16" i.e. Michelin. Good 16" tires are going to cost considerably more but you eliminate the risks associated with the China made tires.
I went ahead and ordered a 29RK and will deal with the 15" tires if possible. One poster stated any shop can change them out, but I doubt that based on available wheel well room, especially in the pre '09 models It's been discussed on this forum in the past.
I did inquire to Crossroads what changes had been made in the Patriot model to facilitate 16" wheels and he stated "none". This tells me the '09 models with the redesigned wheel well skirts might just accommodate a larger wheel.
