Is Goodyear G rated tires worth $2323 when it comes with G rated tires?
Back in 2010 I bought 4 17.5" aluminum wheels complete with center caps and lug nuts with Michelin XTA 215/75R17.5 tires (rated 4,805 lbs @ 120 PSIG) mounted and balanced and shipped to me for about that price. Obviously, I think $2,323 for a mere tire upgrade is absurd!
By the way, I used these wheels and tires to replace my 16" Goodyear G614 RSTs on my 2004 Mobile Suites 36RE3. The 17.5" tires were actually about a 1/2" smaller in diameter than the G614s, so they will fit anywhere the LT235/85R16 G614s (rated 3,750 lbs @ 110 PSIG) will.
So to put it in perspective, you could probably buy a 17.5" wheel/tire package, sell the OEM tires & wheels and have a far more capable, worry free wheel & tire setup for the $2,323 you're being charged for the upgrade to G614s.
I got almost 32% off of MSRP on our 2014 Mobile Suites from a dealer ~1000 miles from our home. If Camping World isn't approaching a 25% to 30% discount, it would be worth your while to shop around for other dealers
