Bought a new bigger RV and the tires were the 17.5 goodyear.
With a tire like that I thought the constant checking and worry would be over.
First sentence might say it all.
Guessing they are G614s. Go on the Escapees HDT forum - most have "bigger" 5th wheels- most with 17.5 wheels and tires.
Search GY 614.
Some 'fans' here, not too many there.
The balance issues are secondary - and often more of an issue with certain brands. (Some have even been exchanged as "mission impossible" to balance).
YMMV...;)
.
Poster stated he already had 17.5" wheels/tires:h G614's are 16".
....and I need to defend myself here I feel....I have stated Im not necessarily a "fan" of GY G614's....I've just stated my experience with them since 07'......one tire lost it's thread, no air loss, we found out while tire was being taken off, the spring pack on that side of the axle was weak, (sagging drastically), and I had about an inch of clearance between wheel well and tire. Spring pack was replaced and zero issues with tires before or since, all towing in the mountains of WV, TN, NC, SC and VA, (and some pretty rough secondary roads in some of these states).....Even with GY seeing the same thing I did with the spring pack, they still replaced all 4 tires, no charge.. All that being said, I couldn't afford 5 17.5" wheels and tires...thus the reason, for quite some time, the "G" rated tire for me has been the GY G614, as it was basically, "the only game in tire"...BUT, now there are Sailun "G" rated tires which I see no bad reports on to date, and I will look at that them when it's time to change these tires..(now 4 years old and zero issues).
Again, according to the OP, unless he doesn't know what tire/wheel combo he has, his post states he has 17.5" tires.
Got off topic, but unless OP changed his title and tire size before I got here, they state they have 17.5" tires/wheels already.
