I run G Goodyears. Please note max air pressure is not the recommended tire pressure for your tire and rig. The G tire can handle up to 35,000 lb. loads. A 14,000 lb. 5th wheel is less than half. So, if max tire pressure is 110 lbs., then 80/85 for a 5th wheel seems reasonable. And if you do not want to change tires every couple of years I suggest running at 80/85. If you know a good tire guy ask um. Best way of knowing what's best for you, run at 80 on a trip and look at the tire each day. dust on the tread will tell you if you are wearing inside or outside or even. Adjust each day by 5 lbs. until you get even wear. No gratuity required. Happy travels.
