Sorry but yes tires again
On edit :Goodyear tires are $275 each and not $175.
I was ready to purchase 4 new Goodyear “LT235/85R16 G614” for $275.00 each (tire only)until I did a check at Les Schwab here in western Washington. Les Schwab has a “LT235/85R16 Geostar G574 all steel highway blackwall” for $201.10. Both tires are G load rated at 3,750 pounds at 110 psi. I think the Les Schwab tires are made in Korea by Nankang. Not sure where the Goodyear are made.
My wheels are rated at 110psi so will be maked out with the new tires.
First question is what does “G614” and “G574” mean?
Second am I comparing apples and apples?
Third and I hope final question, is there any history on the quality of the Les Schwab tires? The price sure looks good to me.
Oh heck how about one more question, will I have a big problem if I have to put on my 235/80R/16 spare to get me to a safe location if I should have a blow out?
Sorry for all the questions but I want to get it right when we are talking over a $1000 expenditure.
Thanks again for any help.
Dick
