just curious and will probably be disappointed, but how much did you spend for a set of G-614's? I got all 4 mounted, balanced and out the door for $1200. I know better than to keep shopping after I've bought but.... curiosity always gets me.
That is a GOOD price!
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. Mind you, I do keep proper inflation, do a visual at every stop while in travel, keep tires covered when parked any length of time and never use Armor All. You know, proper care. Look after your good quality tires, rated for your demands and they will look after you.
I know what works and so do you! I agree the GY's had problems in the late 90's to about early 07. I know for a FACT since it was my Dad that this happened to not just some internet story, his 96 HH Premier came with GY "G" tires and he had three blowouts until he bought a set that were dated 07 from that point never a problem. He puts thousands of miles on a year as I do.
As far as GY taking care of their customers he turned in pictures and a bill each time and no questions asked they paid the bill and gave him a new tire.
GY's policy is if it's "road hazard" they won't pay but for anything else they will.
The tires that came on my 07.5 MS were dated around may 07 the spare never hit the ground. I upgraded the tires and wheels in 2012 to GY "H" 17.5's and those tires were trouble free for thousands of miles.
My money, my choice I will always run GY tires on my RV's unless they start failing. I like Michelins and BFG's for my trucks.
Personally I have not read about a GY "G" or "H" failure for a LONG time!
I am so confident in them I don't WASTE my money on tire monitors. That is my choice also.
The Sailun sounds like it has been good so far but I would rather spend my money here when possible and for the BEST quality product.
See you can give an opinion without snide remarks or even name calling ;)
