Kenda Karrier 235/75/16
Sorry about another tire question, I did a search but nothing really came up. We're buying a Montaineer 295RKD and it comes with GY Marathons....which I will not run, don't care if they are made in US...

Ok thanks for the replys, didn't see an ST on the Kenda so those are out. This isn't are first RV but it's been a while so that's why I'm asking. This 5th wheel is a Montana Mountaineer 295RKD, the listed weight's ....for what they are worth is ...delivered weight 10,137# carrying capacity 4008# pin 2145" and the length is 34'2". It didn't say but I'll assume it has 6k axles until I find out for sure. We travel just locally to fish and camp, maybe 200 miles is the furthest ... but longer trips may be in the works. We also travel VERY light and I mean VERY light.
My truck is an '02 F-250 diesel 4x4, BD 60 hp "tow" chip", air bags w/ onboard compressor, Pacbrake, Hensley Trailer Saver TS3 hitch and I upgraded this past winter to Toyo Open Country II 285/75/18 "E" rated but has a load capacity of 4050 lbs. @ 80 psi.
So with this kind of "maybe" weight will the Michelin ribs at 3042 be the tire to get or spend the xtra and get the G rated GY tires? Thanks again for your help.......Dave
The Placard on the left front side lists GVWR and GAWR. Post that info from you next dealer visit. The numbers add up to 14245 GVWR and it will most likely have 7K axles derated to 6750 to install the cheap GY Marathon's that are rated to 3420 each. So LRE LT's are out and you are looking at GY G614's or the Sailun tires. Get this resolved by Keystone or the dealer. Do not leave the dealers lot on the cheap ST tires, as the wheels may not be rated to 110 pounds inflation and 3750 weight.
There will never be a cheaper time to resolve this than before delivery. Keystone remains one of the most tire challenged manufacturers.
I would also ask that the trailer be placarded to the upgraded tires.
You might even have to walk on this if you can not get Keystone/dealer to do it right, which would be a telling story of things to come down the road.
