The dealer can not replace the tires before the sale without getting the manufacturer to issue a new placard so the tires match the placard at first sale. Chris

hm.. my dealer replaced the tires on an in stock unit with G614's as part of the deal. the placard was not changed.

I have suggested the swap as part of the deal and I know that it was done as part of the same. So who knows!

I wonder if it is luck of the draw? I looked at fuzion 345 and they had a different brand g tire

There was another 3 axle Fuzion on the same lot and it had different G rated tires on it, (never heard of them:h)...."IF" I were to purchase a new 5er....If I couldn't get the tires I wanted on it, that would be a deal breaker...end of conversation....I'd just walk away from the deal.....

My info tag showed G rated tires and I had E rated tires on the new rig. Thought dealer had pulled a fast one...called manufacturer and it left factory with E rated tires so they sent me a new info tag. Since then I have gone to G rated Sailun S637's....should have left the id tag alone.

You dealer violated the laws that apply to the sale of a new vehicle and/or trailer! Where is FastEagle when we need him? Chris

hmm...I was not aware of that. Surely they could do it after I sign on the dotted line? The stories of blow outs scare me as we are doing 3000 mile trip in July and I am not sure I am comfortable with the stock towmax or westlake tires...rig will weight about 12500 empty...likely 14k loaded down ready for the road

You are wise to not want the blowmax or westleak tires. You have to make sure the OEM rims are rated for LRG tires. It would be nice to have the placard match the tires you want, but I would not let that stop you! So you may have to do it after the sale. Chris

Yes, rims are rated for G tire pressure from factory (which begs the question why dont the manufacturer do it in the first place?). Still undecided between 2 haulers..Fuzion or XLR thunderbolt...the Fuzion comes with G tires on it from factory (albeit Araisun or something like that), but the XLR comes with Westlake ST tires - those being the ones I would want to change to Sailun if we go the xlr route. Thanks for the info!
