New Tires
Getting ready to put new tires on my fifth wheel. Definitely going to get LT tires with a high load capacity- Will send this unit down the road in a year or two so I don't want to buy 17.5 " wheels so...

I have 3 axles- Trailer weighs 17k with nothing in it.
When I originally bought the rig I switched out the China bombs and bought HD 16" wheels and the G614's. In hind site I should have bought 17.5" wheels but I just was not educated enough.
So- I guess my point is that $325.00 plus/minus per tire for G614's is a lot if they are only going to last 3 years. That is why I am thinking of buying a high quality lower priced E rated tire and then switching them out say every 2-2.5 years.
