A little interesting fact now with Goodyear RV tires . The G614, and all but the ST 255/85R/16 Endurance do not meet the weight rating requirements set by RVIA for 7K axles , the 10%. Meaning the tires have to be able to handle 7700 Lbs. The G614's at 3750 ,and the Endurance ST235/85R/16 at 3640 ,do not meet the weight rating for 7K axles.
Montana at one time offered the Goodyear G614 as a upgrade ,apparently no longer. Sailun now is the standard .
The Endurance ST 255/85R/16 at 4080 does meet the rating , but at 33.07 diameter may or may not fit , plus they are too big for the 6" wide rims that come on most fifth wheels with 7k axles. Kind of leaves Goodyear in the dark as far meeting ratings for 7K axles.
I would not be surprised to see Goodyear change weight ratings on some of these RV tires
Change weight ratings, but will they actually change the =tire= itself?

I " THINK" that would be a NO.. just re rate it
If the tires are already marginal, then how can they get by with re-rating it and still have a 10% "reserve"? That was my point.
