Got my "G" rated tires on yesterday!!!

So I've taken two trips on the E rated tires with no issues, all pretty short trips with no high speeds and air at 80psi. I got the G dates Saliun's on yesterday and what a big difference they make! Went from a 235/80-16 to a 235/85-16 like I had on my previous Cardinal. No squat in these tires like the ones that came on it and yes the wheels are stamped 110psi and changed to metal valve stems. Another plus is getting out of my driveway..... My rear 6 point level will hit the concrete without boards, this tire will help a little.

I feel so much better with these tires, the E rated ones were pretty much maxed out when I left my driveway.

    I was at the RV show the other day and saw that most of the high-end 5ers had the Good Year Gs. Would be nice if ALL 5ers came with Gs.

    Keep us posted on your tires.....have not heard the first negative about the Sailun tires...I believe they're a great "G" rated tire, time will tell, but I believe they're well worth looking into. I will be looking at them when I get ready to replace my tires in the next year.

    Gotta admit, that's a heck of a price for what seems to be a very good G rated tire:)

    I went from G to H Sailun tires. Also bought them from Simple Tires. Great price and fast service. Tires were $132 each. My trailer was at or over weight for the factory G tires.

    Doesn't speak well of Mobile Suites if they put a G rated tire on a 5er that didn't cover weight that would be put on the axles. Glad you got the proper tire installed on your 5er.
