Thats a terrible price for a questionable tire compared to a Sailun S637 , which are just half the price of a G614 , and again arguably a S637 are a more dependable tire. It just seems crazy to pay the outrageous price they are getting for a G614, but it does make sense because you are having to pay that extra for the insurance they want so they can fix the damaged trailers . It makes a lot more sense to buy a tire you don't need to pay for insurance.
Complete nonsense! Run the G14's on all rigs past and present. NEVER A PROBLEM. Great tire.
Actually on the many different trailering web forums in the late '90s and up to the late '00s era the G614's RST had a terrible reputation that rivaled a ST tire for reliability issues. To Goodyears credit they made a redo on the G614 RST sometime around the late '00s time frame. Seems to have worked as we don't see as many G614 RST failures reported when looking at the many RV and non RV trailer web forums.
Lots of hype for Goodyear honoring G614 warranty on this forum. On other web forums its just the opposite.
The Sailun S637 hasn't been on the market long enough to see how its going to last long term but with no reported structural failures reported from all type of trailer forums it may be a winner.
Operators on a couple of commercial forums have reported they are on the 2nd/3rd sets. Some of these folks will run 75k - 100k miles a year and use two sets a year.
Rv trailers sit most of the time so 5-7 years should tell the tale.
