A year ago I posted about this very tire when I installed 4 on my Montana in place of the Goodyear Marathons. I also installed a tire pressure monitor system from TST. I have internal sensors so the readings are very accurate. I have about 6000 miles on them now. On a recent trip with 90degree air temp, cold pressure 100 labs and 90degrees, 1 hr into trip pressure 115 lbs and tire temp 135 degrees. These values held through the remainder of the 4 hour trip. The tire really handles the two conditions that ultimately lead to tire failure.
They are wearing perfectly with no scrubbing or feathering.
Best of all I paid about half of what they wanted for Goodyear G's.
Good choice you won't be sorry.
What was your price out the door?
I didn't dig out the invoice for them as I got them from the supplier who services our car dealership. Best I can remember is $190.00 each for tire only. Our shop installed and spun balanced them which I didn't pay for but goes for about $20 per tire.
I asked the supplier for his recommendation on a tire for my trailer and his response was: I sell a lot of these tires to guys who transport those backyard sheds on flatbed trailers for the Amish Carpenters who make them. They routinely have them underinflated and overloaded. The tires hold up really well and they keep coming back for replacements when they wear out.
Good enough testament for me!
Thanks, so in reality you paid about 2/3 of the GY G tires. I will stick with the GY's. Never even a flat but I do know they back up their product and will pay for damages and tire replacement. So that means no insurance premium increase.
Nice to have options.
Good luck with your tires!
You got a good price on the GY's if you only paid $300 for them. They routinely sell for $400 here. GY needs to have a source of money to pay all those claims.
GY has 3 price tiers, 1 is walk in pricing, 2 is for people who have been customers for a while and 3 is for commercial. Shop around even try trailertiresandwheels.com that is where I bought 4 alcoa 17.5 wheels with GY H tires and a steel wheel and cheap tire for a spare shipped to me with center caps and balanced for $3,200.
Problem is a lot of people NEED tires when they go shopping.
