    West Lake Tires

    I have a GD Image that came with West Lake Super ST 225/75 R15 tires. Im not sure of your 2016 camper weight but my in GVCW is 9,000 lbs. If you changed out your tires, what brand did you go with? We down sized campers to the 2600RB from a 40 foot Montana with Sailum tires. Other words Im more familiar with large campers and large tires. I've never heard of West Lake tires so I'm considering changing tires also.

    West Lake Tires

    My 2021 2600RB came with ST225/75 R15 West Lake tires. I'm looking for opinions on quality and durability of a West Lake brand and would you buy another West Lake tire again. We were full timers for eight years and recently down sized campers from a 40 foot full timing 5th wheel so I'm more familiar with bigger camper tires and bigger tires. Thanks for your thoughts.

    Use the search function (top right) and you'll find dozens (if not hundreds!) of posts on this topic. Bottom line: the load range E Westlake tires have a reputation for coming apart; the load range G Westlakes (16" - not what you have) are a good tire with a decent reputation. Many folks in your situation have switched the LRE Westlakes out for something else... the problem being that, right now, there aren't many good alternatives available.
