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.
Go with the G rated tires. You can't go wrong with an extra margin of safety. Good Year has been outstanding in replacing my trailer tires when there has been issues. In addition they paid twice for all the trailer repairs from the damage caused by blow outs.
$1500 and $1200.
