Looking to replace them over the winter, due to their age, but not quite sure about what to replace them with. What's the current thinking on Load Range G tires?
    Goodyear G614 or Sailun S637. Both are good tires (I've had two sets of Sailuns and no issues with either).

    3. Never buy Westlakes as what's the chance of three blowing on one short 300 mile trip??? It's like they had a built in expiration and were rigged to blow after a certain time. LOL
    That is why I replaced my TST with Tire Minder. On my 5er my Co-Pilot noticed that temp and pressures was increasing on one tire and higher than the rest and climbing. I slowed down and headed for the shoulder and at 15 MPH the alarm went off about the same time the tire came apart. The Tire Minder display shows all your tires at once and not the blink blink blink one tire at time. The display shows my motorhome and the "NS" are my toad Jeep Rubicon that isn't attached.

    I will not use a Goodyear. That company sold me a lot of ST tires (Marathon) that they knew to be junk, while proclaiming in their advertising that we needed to use their ST tires. They do not deserve any more of my money.

    This is great news Rob. Thank you for posting that. I just checked and I have the G's and I'm feeling a bit better about it, now.

    In case you couldn't guess, Westlake don't cover collateral damage and you better make sure you take pictures of each tire. I figured the warranty wasn't more than 2 years, so didn't bother taking a picture of the second tire before the service guy took it away with him (I already had one shredded tire in the trailer). Turns out they have an astonishing 3 year warranty, so I got $105. Could have had $210. Unfortunately, Goodyears cost over $150 and shipping alone for the wrecked sheet metal skirt is $1000 because dealers can't be bothered to get pieces shipped in a trailer delivery. 😖

    Both times I needed the sheet metal skirts replaced I made a trip out to the GD factory and had them do it. My insurance company paid me directly and it was enough to cover the entire trip... and then some.

    Yeah, I made the mistake of not making sure I pick up at factory as I passed by, then found out the dealers rape you on shipping. The part itself is $100, comes painted, they will cut to length; all I had to do was get out the die grinder and cut the arch. Now I have to design/draw it up, find a local shop, and get it made. Will still be within my deductible if I don't include my time...
