My new Avionic trailer is in production now and I can upgrade to 14`` wheels.Is there any real advantage of bigger wheels? I have light 15M pure sailplane. Thank you.

Prolly less of an issue on a trailer than a powered vehicle, but - having
owned for decades one vehicle w. 14" wheels and one w. 13" wheels, driving
both on lots of unpaved, often muddy, roads - the 14-inchers were definitely
easier to keep in balance before needing to resort to a hose (spinning ~7%
slower at a given speed).

Other than (especially these days, still owning the 13-incher) people in shops
looking at me funny when asked about 13" SR tire choices, in the U.S. I've
never had any problem obtaining tires for either vehicle (or the various
14"-tired glider trailers I've owned).

YMMV,
Bob W.
