Sailun S637 or Goodyear G614

My fifth wheel has a GVWR of 14,100 with two 6K pound axles.

Initially I was going to go for some E load Bridgestone Duravis R250's or Michelin Ribs but they only have a load capacity of 3042 per tire - kind of low considering my GVWR.

Instead, I'm going to go for some new G load wheels and G load tires. With 3750 capacity per tire, I figure I have a greater safety margin and won't be anywhere near overloading which could happen with the E load tires. I've narrowed it down to the Sailun and the GY614.

Is it worth $480 extra for the GY's? I'm dumping China made ST's and not sure I want a China made LT - although the Sailun seems to have a pretty good reputation.

R250 or RIBs will do just fine. I would however not but put a poly carcass E rated tire on it. If you run the G614 or Sailun according to the inflation chart they it will be at 80 lbs, the same as the R250 or RIB. Why waste the money on tires that do not have the track record of the R250s and RIBs? Chris
