My tire dealer found the fresh 235/85/R16 at $10 less than the 235/80. I drove straight from the RV dealer to the tire shop. Total price was to be $850 for FIVE out the door. He subtracted $30 each or $150 for the Rainiers that were OEM so my bill was $700. Even at $850 your quote of $1070 seems high, very high.

Just looked at a 3791RD in a dealers lot. It has Sailun S637 235/85R16 with a max load of 4,400#@110psi printed on the tire. They have changed their tires. Also the Solitude 375RES had similarly rated Westlake tires.

I have run the G614's without issue, but to replace them today a person has to spend at least double for them over the Sailun's. Thats ridiculous , they are no better tire, and arguably inferior when reading the reviews.

Basically what you are paying for with the G614's is insurance, heck I don't need to spend more for insurance, I am up to my eyeballs in insurance premiums
I'm hearing good stuff about the Chinese made Maxxis tires also. Just recently replaced my 13" boat trailer tires with the 8008 Maxxis.

Westlake may have similar weight ratings but they are far from equal to Sailun tires.

Not sure what good things you are hearing about the Maxxis tires, and don’t believe they make a G rated tire.
Regardless of what you hear about Maxxis or any other E rated tire made in the US or China they don’t belong on these heavier Montana fifth wheels. IMO G rated tires are the only tire that belongs on these heavy fifth wheels .

The Maxxis are probably great for a small boat trailer with 13 inch tires , but that’s a long way from these heavy fifth wheels

Yep, it's hard to get stolen tires mounted & balanced! Just kidding!

That part probably won't be shared . If so they would have in their original post.

The big part of posting is to share, not sure what the purpose of that post was, unless they come back ,and share.

I'll have to pay my dealer to install but I'm going to try to offer my Rainiers in trade even up.

Or.... you can support an American (Or North American job to keep the Admins happy) and buy an American (North American... Western Hemisphere) Tire and keep someone who is supporting a family and paying taxes in a job.

Tires are made all over the world and we live in a world-wide economy. For example, recently Consumer Reports tested GY tires made in Canada, Chile, Germany. I believe the GY Endurance ST tires are made in the US. Regardless, when I needed tires for my FW, I chose the best-rated (so far) Sailun made in China. The GY Endurance does not yet have a track record. I buy American when it makes sense, not to appease myopic union workers. Also, there are many Americans working in sales, transportation and distribution of foreign tires who also pay taxes.

If we always went out and blindly bought American we would still be driving the poor quality cars and trucks built by Detroit in the 70s. It was international competition that forced US companies to improve quality. I now drive American products since they have improved quality but don't do it blindly. I always want to support the American company and worker as long as they are competitive in quality and price - I will even pay a little extra.
