Help Finding Tires in Dallas, Tx Area For My Solitude
I am out on a trip and had a brake issue that transferred a lot of heat to my tire. I put the spare on and now need to replace the original tire. I have searched the web and made a bunch of calls but no one I was able to reach stocks the ST235/80R16 that I need. I found a GD dealer but the parts guy didn't want to sell me the tire because of the huge mark up he has to put on it and I didn't want to pay it. I'll be stationary about and hour east of Dallas through the next week and then I will be in Dallas the end of next week. Anybody know a good place to get a tire in the DFW area?

Google for a Discount Tire near you, they will have one you can bet. I was heading out on a trip in my Reflection fivver a couple years ago and noticed a big nail in the sidewall of a trailer tire. Pulled into my local Discount Tire and they had 5 Goodyear Endurance tires in stock the correct size, guess what I bought lol.

@Txfivver are the Goodyear Endurance tires a load range G tire? What is the load rating (in pounds) for them? As far as I know, the Goodyear Endurance tires are not available in a load range G.
@Bee-Man, I can not help with specific tire shops in your area, but if you have one, I have found that Les Schwab Tires (a national chain) typically stock a set of Sailun S637 tires in ST235/80R16. I do not have them (yet) , but by all accounts these are an excellent trailer tire. These are a load range G tire (see my comment below).
I am not sure how familiar you are with tires, but be sure you get Load Range G tires (same as original tires) to handle the weight of your Solitude. There are many ST235/80R16 tires available in load range E, but (in my opinion) they are just to low of a load rating for a Solitude.
Sorry if this is old news, but tires are (one of) the weakest links int he trailer suspension. The difference in an ST235/80R16 load range E (3,420#) and load range G (4,080#) is about 650# per tire or 2,600# per set of four. A lot of people have have blowouts and other problems with load range E tires on the heavier tires. Just some things to consider. Only you can decide what is right for you.

CoChris no the Goodyear's I bought were load range E for the Reflection 28BH I had at that time. He definitely needs load range G for a Solitude, I did not catch that when I replied. I would still bet Discount Tire can help him on such short notice though, they are pretty awesome. It's worth a try unless he starts calling local RV dealers.

Check with some truck and or trailer repair shops. They should have them. If they do't they could have them shipped in in a couple of days.
