fsujeeper. The cost of upgrading to the 17.5 inch combo is 600 per item x 4. The cost of the good year LT tire was in the 300-350 range (I think). It's not cheaper unless you have found something cheaper that I haven't. It seems to be double the cost.
I can't afford $600+ (tax and shipping) on 4 wheels and tires right now since (side note). I just had to pay 6k in deductible for my high deductible insurance.
But thanks for the opinion. We would love to upgrade in the future and if I was a full timer I would really consider doing it, but as it is, the more I think about it, the more think that I really need to find a cost effective alternative until funds can come up again. It's a hobby for me, not my main mode of living and transportation.

The GY G614 is GY high end trailer tire. It is the same diameter as the Marathon ST235/80R16E. Rating goes for 3420 with the Marathon to 3750 with the G614. However your wheels have to be able to handle 110 inflation to use the full 3750 rating. What is the listed GAWR and GVWR on the placard on the left from corner?
There is another LRG tire in the Sailun that cost a lot less, however it is larger in diameter, so you need at least 33+ inches between the axles. Being a TH you should not have clearance issue above the tires.

Just about 99.99 percent of ST tires will perform similar to the ones you currently have. So if you what to get off that treadmill then you need to go to higher quality tires.

What is the issue with the necessity for 33inches between tires. I am considering buying the Sailuns. Thanks.

Francesca Knowles. It looks like the tire you posted is an E-10 rated tire? not F?
Sorry! Grabbed the wrong link. This is the right one.
Usability for you will depend on your existing rims being good for the 95 PSI air pressure.

So why not Goodyear G614 LRG tires. What is the max load rating on the rims that you have now? If you have GY Marathon tires, lobby GY for the upgrade to G614's.
