Is 13K the total weight (have you subtracted the pin weight)?13k loaded give or take
It is refreshing to read where someone applies critical thinking to their upgrades. How you use your rig dictates the upgrade schedule.mmerten1973
I have a 2018 310GK with similar weight. I just purchased this rig end of last summer and it had two 'not good' tires on the rear axle and two 'good' Endurance tires on the front axle dated Aug. 2023 with only two short trips on them. I prefer the piece of mind that comes with the Sailun 16 ply tires but price was a factor, as well as not wanting to throw away the Endurance tires already onboard. That said, I've decided to go forward with buying Endurance 10 ply tires for the rear axle.
During my research, in speaking with a tire store employee that I believe knows a thing or two about what he's talking about, he explained that you should consider how you drive, or specifically, maneuver. If you're the person that typically utilizes pull-through campsites then the 10 ply is likely sufficient. If you're the person that is more likely to maneuver in and out of tight turns and corners, 90 degree turns where you're causing two of your four tires to 'scuff' sideways part of the time then you're going to want the additional sidewall stiffness that the 16 ply tires offer such as with the Sailun's. Otherwise, the Sailun brand for our size and weight of 5th wheel is a little overkill but like I said before, does offer some piece of mind.
If I still have my 310GK in 5 years, I'll likely replace the Endurance with Sailun but for now, with all the additional upgrades I have in mind for this 'new to me' RV, I'm going with the more 'cost effective' route.... for now! Hope this helps.
If price was a factor, the Sailun would be the obvious choice, since they are around $100 less per tire than the Endurance.mmerten1973
