tires

I have a 2015 Montana 3611RL and have the Trailers King tires on it. I am getting concerned about the need to change to a different tire. What tires would everyone recommend ?

Depending on your budget, either Sailun S637 or Goodyear G614. Both have plenty of capacity and are very reliable. The Sailuns are made in China, but are made in an ISO rated factory, not your typical "China Bombs". The Goodyears are made in the USA, and were the standard for heavy duty trailer tires until the Sailuns came along.

You do need to change your tires before you have a blowout that does thousands of dollars damage to your camper.
What Bob said.
Both are great tires.

I also agree with the others and will add that I liked the Sailuns so well that I bought Sailun Terramax tires for my F350 SRW and they are doing great and the cost was only 2/3 of what I had been spending for truck tires.

We have the same rig that came with the same factory tires.
You don't want to wait. Replace your tires ASAP. (experience talking here...)
We went with the Sailun S637 s.

I saw Sailun Terramax tires on a fleet of AC service trucks here last week. All 5 trucks at the job site had them. Looks like they may be gaining popularity fro trucks as well as campers.

I put the Carlisle CSL 16. Not sure of longevity as we just put them on. Reviews on the computer were good?? Anybody else trying them?

After all the positives for Sailun I guess to each his own.

In a pinch on our SOB TT we put Carlisle on. They were fine. The Sailuns have better reviews and I am happy with Sailuns.

You may be able to avoid having to buy new wheels by going up to a LRF tire. I'm almost certain you'll have to get new wheels with the LRG tires.

Both LRF & LRG replacements can be purchased in the same designated size as your OEM tires (ST235/80R16). Therefor, they would conform to the trailer's certification label and use the same load inflation chart as the OEM tires.

Since at least 2012, the Montana has come with 110psi rated wheels. The HC I’m not sure of as they usually came with 6,000 lb axles. Our rig was purchased off the dealer lot and came with the Marathon bombs, but had the Goodyear G614 in the 85 size as an option, which I changed over to and run them at as close to 110 psi as I can.

Depends on weight and wheel specs

My 2015 292RK five'r is not that heavy, and I replaced originals with Goodyear Endurance LR E tires, and they are doing great running at 75-80 lbs. I haven't examined inside of my rims to see what they are rated for but would likely follow the crowd to Sailuns if wheels can handle 110 lbs and I felt needed extra weight capacity.

Just put them on my High Country. E rated however, also rated to 110 mph. Probably will not go that fast. Discount tire highly recommended them.

E-Rated tires may work but remember the salesman at Discount Tire is still a salesman.
Don't get me wrong, I buy a lot of tires there for all our vehicles but when it comes to the RV I won't buy anything less than the"G" rated tires. Had a blowout with the "E" rated tires on my previous SOB 5er. Discount Tire didn't pay my deductible.
I prefer to get better tires than required to be safer.
Cheers
Safe travels

Change them out. What the others said. And get the bearing checked also.

Agree somewhat but, not totally. A salesman yes but, one who is educated in tires and sees a lot of tires used on RVs and which ones work and which ones don't. He also said that, Discount is still evaluating but, has not yet decided to take on the Sailun line yet. Blowouts are going to occur on all makes, some not so much, others more. Have numerous friends with Montanas with E rated tires who have not experienced a blowout. You would think that Montana would put G rated tires on them if they thought they needed to.

Regards and be safe......
