I have a Montana 3400RL 2010 and am changing to Goodyear G614 tires. I have Treadit TO4 8 aluminum wheel rims which are rated for the 110 psi and the 3750 pounds but they are 16x6 size rims and the Goodyear site says the G615 235/85/16G uses a 6 1/2 rim. Have any of you changed to G614's with Treadit rims or what size rims are you using and manufacturer plus experiences. I am wondering if the 6 vs 6 1/2 rim width is significant.

I hope it is not an issue as I just ordered the GY for our Alpenlite which has 6 inch steel rims. The current tires are Freestar and stamped DO NOT MOUNT ON 6.5 RWHEELS. Our previous rig (Big Country) had the GY 614's with 6" rims. But...I do not have a definitive answer to your question! :(

You might crawl under the trailer and inspect the welds that hold the outter to the inner parts. Some were welded on 4 areas and some were welded around the circle. The four weld wheels were recalled many years ago. worth a look.chevman

On my LT 235/85 R16 G614 it says on the sidewall... "MOUNT ONLY ON 16 INCH RIM APPROVED FOR RADIAL TIRES DO NOT MOUNT ON 16 1/5 INCH RIM" It looks like you are "good to go". If your rims are approved for radial tires.

I think when the tire manufacturer - Goodyear for the G614 RST - says the minimum acceptable rim width is 6 & 1/2" that's just what they mean to say. Is it debatable? I don't know, call and ask them. If they snicker just hang-up.FastEagle
