They are not even in the same ballpark as the marathon.... but I understand where you are coming from.. Once scorned, its hard to go back....

This is just a post for anyone looking to purchase those in the near future... there are a lot of folks who want to upgrade to them, but the price always seams to get in the way.

That makes about as much sense as saying never buying a Ford after the 6.0 and 6.4. :B

One might be better educated on the G114 story or current history by checking out forums like NUWA or other website for heavier rv trailers/haulers websites. These tires like the G614 has a very checkered past.

I just replaced mine on my 5er with HERCULES 14 ply all steel tires. A Copper Product. about $185.00 per tire. After research looks like a great tire. Time will tell

Now let’s not start confusing these folks with the facts, and the G614 ‘s continue their checkered past. It’s another reason to go Sailun .

Let's all state reality and not make this confusing. YES the GY "G" did have issues with build dates right around 2007. Since they have a great track record. If anyone disagrees please post facts to backup your opinion not just say over on the XYZ Forum. Non Road Hazard claims!

But if y'all insist on promoting a Chinese Made tire that's fine with me. I won't bad mouth it so please state the reality when talking about the GY "G" tires record.

My 2007.5 Mobile suites had mid 07 build date on it's GY "G" tires and were ran thousands of miles at their upper limits with ZERO issues.

Lets turn this around and see where your facts about a great track record come from....that what I thought... their just your own.
As I've always preached if anyone wants to know how a tires service record is doing "now and in the past" look around the net at the many trailering forums (rv and non rv). That way we get actual experiences from actual users...not just kool aid from one or two posters that promote one brand only for trailers.
I promote different brands/types of tires for trailers depending on load ranges/sizes based on what I see on rv and non rv trailer forums... not just what I've used on my trailers.

Lots of Marathon users swear by them and run thousands of miles on them and claim zero issues.....but the net with all the different trailering websites shows us a different story.

Not necessarily; I went through it. Like the old saying burn me once, shame on you; burn me twice, shame on me! ;)

Come on guys, same old arguments! :R. Gets very tiring having to read the same thing over and over again. Yes, I DO have to read everything. Wish I could just skip over some of these posts. :W
