He does have 7,000# axles and I also agree on the Sailun tires to be looked at...Seem to be one of the few higher quality chinese tires built. I will look at them next time I change out tires. The GY G614's are pricey, but to me, are good tires..the Sailun G rated tires have been getting good reviews from those that have purchased them and reported on them in these forums...

No dog (tire) in the fight

There's always good and bad reports on most tires.
The GY G614 has their detractors on the Escapees HDT forums (folks with heavy trailers).
Try a search.

G614 alternates noted there:
Yokohama
Sumitomo
Hankook

.........and there's probably others..;)

I've read good and bad about the G614's...only issue I had with them was a bad spring pack caused my 5er to sit low on a side that ripped tread off the tire, never lost an ounce of air...Used them on 5er since new (06')....no other issues once I fixed suspension.

As to others, I would again, add to the list Sailun G rated tires, they've achieved a level of quality that hardly any tires that are manufactured in China have achieved. One of the few manufacturers in china that have quality standards in place and proof of maintaining and using them in the manufacturing process of the tires

I too don't have a dog in this fight., really and I'm not defending GY G614 tires, just know my experience of almost all towing in the mountains with a 16,000 # (loaded) 5er with these tires on my 5er since 07'.

and again, when I go to replace these tires, I will see if reviews on Sailun tires are still favorable and if they are, I very well may go with them due to their competitive pricing.
