That's back when GY and Sailun dominated the steel cased trailer tire market with their RST LT235/85R16 LRG tires for 7000# axles. Then Sailun "pioneered" the steel cased trailer tire market with their ST235/80R16 LRG and ST235/85R16 LRG tires for 7000# and 8000# axles. Now just about all of the ST tire manufacturers build those LRG Tires.
Now days, with the RVIA 10% reserve load capacity recommendation being adopted by the trailer manufacturing industry, the 3750# LRG tires no longer qualify as OE fitments for service on 7000# axles. IMO that will eventually cause the expensive GY G614 to be discontinued. Sailun has already quit building their like sized tire. However, trailer manufacturers have the option to de-rate axles to a lower certified value which would allow the use of those 3750# GY tires.
