Good Sam roadside assistance fail

[Jerryr]

Geo, I had tread splitting with my Westlake G's at 12k miles, so I swapped them out for the Sailun 14ply, those lasted 4318 miles and 4562 miles respectively. I just swapped all of them out for this new tire https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...omCompare1=yes

So you went from West

I have faith in Hankook and will let you know. I did call the distributors but not Sailun direct. I have documented evidence the tires shed there tread ahead of normal. These Sailuns were manufactured in Vietnam, not China, as Sailun changed that. I'm seeing tread lost issues across multiple forums (e.g. Montana users forum). I'm hopeful the Hankook will be the solution for 20k miles or so.

That said, I only replaced the four and kept Westlake G as my spare

BTW, changing a tire in the north Nevada desert with nothing else within 100 miles will put a notch on your holster!

So you went from G rated Westlake to G rated Sailuns and now to E rated Hankooks?

Do the E rated Hankooks with 3420 lbs load rating have the load ratings for you need fir your Solitude?

That does look to be cutting it really fine for load capacity. They wouldn't work for my Momentum 351M, not enough capacity. I need "G" rated at least. I think the Solitude 377MBS has the same GVWR as my Momentum 351M.

Ugh! We're just a touch over 12K on Westlakes and I was gearing up for Sailuns for next season since they served me well before. Looks like for my needs, G614s are my $pendy choice unless I want to try the Cooper H-rated and harsher roll... I can get the Coopers at half the price of Goodyears now with a discount I'm afforded. Can't believe the cost increases the past couple of years...

I'm getting ready to take delivery of our first travel trailer and was getting ready to sign-up for RA through GS until I read this thread. Got me looking at alternatives. While I was shopping for travel trailer insurance I found pretty good rates at Progressive, which is where I also have boat insurance. I found that adding RA to my trailer insurance only costs an additional $28 per year. That's seemed pretty low compared to GS at $65 per year. Progressive goes through Agero RA services and they claim to be the largest wholesale provider of roadside in the business. They also claim to have 115 drivers. I wonder if GS and others also goes through Agero.

Anyone here familiar with Agero?

BTW: My travel trailer insurance with RA is probably going to be under $500 per year but I'm still looking at the options.

Something I researched last night... Escapees offers RA... I think that is good for us since we will be using them for our domicile.

If you can up the size to the ST255/85R16, the capacity jumps to 4080 per tire. Not sure if that is possible though.

Could possibly, but that adds 1 1/2" in height, 1/2" in width, and whole lot more money.

If tire diameter is 1-1/2” larger then ride height will only be 3/4” higher.

I put Goodyear G614 LT235/85R16s on my Reflection 337RLS without a problem.

The overall tire diameter is 3", so 1 1/2" gain in height. The Goodyear are the same height as the Hankook, give or take a half inch. But I'll go with the Sailun before the Goodyear. JMO. Goodyear just wants too much money for their product.

I am playing catch-up on this thread this week. I was speed-reading through all the posts, however it looks like Hankook offers a G rated version of that tire here https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires...6TH31&i1_Qty=4
