Several people don't bother to read the post before the advice starts.
G114 215/75/17.5, H rated tires.
18K# rv that sit way too much before I bought it.
The tire is evenly mounted on the wheel, the wheel was perfect on the balancer.
The tech shouldn't have tried to balance it when it wasn't round or true.
Maybe they wouldn't blow out, not a chance I'm willing to take. 3 of the 4 weren't true and I ordered 4 new ones.
I bought G114 again. Why??? several reasons. The tires have a 75mph tow rating.
they lasted 6 years by the date code and I've never heard of one blow out without warning. I feel the out of round and balance a warning.
I asked about sailun tires, several places, was told they wouldn't go that cheap.
The cheapest good tire was only 75 cheaper then what I bought.
I've been a fleet manager and tech for too many years, I posted just so others with the 17.5 tires might check theirs. I've made my mind up on my path.
