Nope. Sitting at a stop sign after a fifteen minute drive.

Tire guy thought it was mfg defect where there was an air pocket in the belt layer and the steel rusts out over time and creates a weak spot.

Mine are four years old now and look perfect, I have the whole set-up looked at yearly by my tire place and their take is as long as the tires aren't showing age/weather cracking or wear they are good-to-go so would they not still be viable after five years?

Six years seems to be the limit on these RV tires . Although most never wear them out, they age out. The G614 are no exception.

I ran mine six years, got them off there ,and went to Sailuns

I HAD a set of G614's that showed that exact sign.... the folks at Goodyear called it "Shoulder Step" and considered it normal wear...

I dropped them and put on a set of Goodyear G114, H rated...

They look like my new ones tread wise. 5 years is about time to replace.

It came down to inflation over on the Montana forum, but as said don't remember the solution.

Thats the first thing Sailun rep asked me on the Sailun tire that I lost, was how was the wear, he said when they start wearing unusual, it usually over inflation . My Sailuns have worn very evenly, although they are over inflated according to the inflation chart he sent me .

HE told me as long as I like the ride of the fifth wheel, and no unusual wear it was okay to run the 100 psi.

What is weight on axles?
What air pressure have you been running tires at?
What type of suspension......leaf springs/torsion axles?
If leaf springs are bushing plastic/OEM or replaced with aftermarket upgrades?


5 yrs per tire date code.
New tires while you have time/at home........why mess around out of road during one of your trips

Thats a common complaint about those G614's . There was a thread awhile back about guys complaining on the Montana Forum about wear like that on their G614's . Looks like nothing has changed with those Goodyears. 5 years ,and that wear its time for Sailuns. :)

Not sure what they came up with, its been awhile, but I am pretty sure it was inflation .
