I need to replace my stock Duro's "E" rated next year. Tread & sidewalls are still very good but they're hitting close to 6 yrs old and I almost always have to add 10-15lbs of air everytime we want to go camping. I have a big trip planned next year and I want tires to be the least of my worries. I did some research months ago and concluded on going with G614 but dreading the cost. That is until I hit this thread. Wow, lots of great info in here! I have 7000lb axles but I also don't load up to capacity or even near my weight capacity limit. I'm not a full-timer or anything remotely close; long time before I can retire. So, I was debating if "G" rated were more about handling max capacity, peace of mind, combination of both or something else I'm missing? I also want (like to have) tires that are rated above 65mph just for that extra margin of safety. I hope the positive Sailun reviews continue.
Just remember that the Sailun will be larger in diameter. You will need at least 33" center to center on your axles to use them.
And I might add you are one lucky guy with those Duro's. I would be afraid to drive it to a tire shop at this point! I have Carriage friends in our snowbird park that were not that lucky!
