Valve Stem Issue.....
So I'm upgrading to G rated tires and I ordered metal valve stems rated at 110psi. The problem is the rubber on the back of the stem wont go thru the valve hole on the wheel... I also have rubber ...

First question; are your =rims= rated for 110 psi? If you're only upgrading tires, your rims may not handle the G's, hence the difference in stem hole size. Rims should be stamped on the back side of the bead or in the "valley" inside, which means you'd have to break a tire down to check.

Never owned trailer/fifth wheel but that's the first question I would ask on Class A/C. When I upgraded tires on Class C I was told to make sure that I kept air pressure at lower rating otherwise I risked blowing up the rim and possibly injuring the guys who maintain my tires.
If you're going to "de-rate" the tires by inflating them only to 80 psi, then why get the GY tires at all? Save a bunch of money by going to Sailun tires, if you're determined to get G tires. Save even more by going with Michelin Ribs or Bridgestone Duravis R250 in E-rated 16" tires. Just my $0.02...

Sailun S637 and GY G614 are both G rated and 110 psi ,what sense does derating having do with either tire if they are both G rated . For my money I would get the Sailun regardless of what air pressure.
Op did not state which tire, but from all reviews the Sailun S637 is getting better reviews then the GY G614's ever did. With Goodyear you are having to pay at least a $100.00 more per tire then the Sailun . I pay enough for insurance I don't need another 400 plus for tire insurance, and would rather have a tire that is getting better reviews .
