On a recommendation from this forum I deleted the factory tires and ordered the Monster retreads. It is a very nice tire with a nice thick tread. The problem is that nice thick tread turns the 15 inch tire you ordered effectively into a 16 inch tire which if you don't realize at the time (I didn't) throws off the plan dimensions for the pant fitment.  I ended up dropping the spacer down to 3/4 inch.  I've still got more exposed tire than most, but I'm okay with that. I've got some unimproved strips on my favorites list and can also use a conventional chock on a main. 

I like the bigger tire and higher pant clearance. In the end it will be an accidental mod that I would have chosen had I been clever enough to figure it out from the beginning.
