wait a minute here.

1) use 15" tires

and

2) don't plan to replace the wheels

don't go together. trx wheels are not dimensionally safe to use with
traditional tires; the numbers don't line up.  a 390 trx wheel is 15.3543"
in diameter -- not close at all. don't, don't, don't do this. either buy
trx tires or buy a complete package. i don't know what your tire shop guy
has been smoking.
