I've used GY G614's on my 5er since 06, 7,000# rated axles and GVWR of 16,950#, loaded to 16,200#....Never had an issue...had one tire lose it's tread, but had a spring pack that had started sagging only allowing about 1" of clearance between tire and wheel well. I do all my towing in the mountains....I just have to say they've worked for me...I wouldn't go with hankook, but that's just me... but I will look at the Sailun G rated tire as well as the GY G614 when I look at replacing them again. They are a quality built tire and have had no bad reviews thus far on these forums for about 2 yrs according to those that have them and they are very reasonably priced.
I've been thinking about G614's. My wheels are rated for 110psi, 16", 6 inch rims. I saw that the 614's want a 6 1/2" rim. Do I need new wheels?
As far as I know, the G614 does take a 6.5" wheel...but IF I were going to go that route, I'd look at 17.5" wheels and tires, or see if the Sailun G rated tire would work on your rims. I'm going to look hard at the Sailun G rated tire when I get ready to purchase tires again....they are priced well below the GY G614's and, in my opinion, probably just as good....
