    Tires

    Time for new tires on my Solitude. Originals are Westlakes ST235/80 load range G. Not available in Goodyear. Will ST235/85 work on a Solitude?

    Yes. I put 235/85-16 Sailun S637 on my last Solitude. They fit and worked fine.

    The 85s are fine (either Sailun or Goodyear G614s). We have the Sailuns on our Solitude and had them on our Reflection 337 as well.

    I put on the 235/85-16 Sailuns at the beginning of this season. Load Range G; very beefy tires. I replaced the original Westlakes that had started to dry rot.

    My 235-85 16's work great on our solitude. Four years old and approximately 30,000 miles on them and they still look great and no sidewall cracking. I do wash, treat with 303 rubber protection and cover them when parking for more than a few weeks. They also balance out very well.

    The reports for the G-Rated Westlakes have been very good, the E-Rated Westlakes had bad reports.

    Salons 637s are 1/2 the price of the Goodyear G614s.

    My experience with the g rated Westlakes was not so good, hence my search for new tires. Just over 3 yrs old, properly inflated, and not overweight, had a blowout @ 60 mph.

    Knowing your existing wheel size (diameter and width) and tire size will help answer your question. I would ponder that with a 2018 you would like need to upgrade wheels to get to an H.

    I have H rated tires on my 2021 310 Gk. They came on the rig when I ordered it with 17.5” tires instead of 16”. The 17.5” may be standard, now not sure. Newbies to the RV world, 40 years of boating, looking forward to the rv world.
