I need to replace the Goodyear G614 Tires on my trailer and I'm hoping to do it without having to resort to bank robbery. Doing an online search, I'm finding a few Chinese brands I've never heard of. Anyboody got any real world recommendation for a tire somewhere between these two poles?Thanx,Jim

First off stay far away from the Chinese tires. On my first 5th wheel I put on standard Michelin LT truck tires and they were great. On my current toy hauler I put on Michelin XPS ribs. I have had no tire issues with any of these truck tires on my either of my rigs and I tow coast-to-coast.

I recommend using Sailun tires. There are many happy users on here and zero complaints. About half the price of Goodyears.

Sailun S637's now comed in two 16" sizes. The smaller diameter ST235/80R16G are the same diameter as the GY G614's and standard ST235/80R16E's. The ST235/85R16G are 1" larger. Both are all steel ply tires. Chris

Most likely the Michelin ribs are not even rated for what he needs. He's running a G rated tire, not too good to be recommending a lesser rated tire.

G614 or Sailuns; check amazon, about 2 weeks ago they had G614 for $165.00 each and free shipping; about 1/2 normal price

Sailun's Sailun's Saliun's. So far the Sailuns have been outperforming the Goodyears, and at nearly half the price. Its robbery what they are asking for the Goodyears
