Good call you won't regret the investment. I am so confident in my GY "H" tires I am not adding TPMS.

As I said above I would rather stick with what Gladiator web says.

However having a good G rated poly tire makes for more options for those that are looking for a low cost quality tire for rv trailers that sits a lot.

JIMNLIN, if you look at the part number 1933273865 on the link you provided, that matches up to the poly carcass tire on Simple Tire site.

The all steel one carries Part #: 1143273865 on Simple Tire. Given that Simple tire is the major importer of these and Sailun tires I would go with what they have on their site.

First, do you need G rated tires? You didn't mention how heavy your 5er is so you may be doing overkill. An E rated LT tire may be enough. If I needed G rated, I would go with Sailun. IMO just as good as G614 and about half the price. Also check your rims. G rated tires require 110 PSI.

[JIMNLIN]

Just make sure your get the (AS) all steel "QR35-TR(AS) Trailer", as they also have a fabric QR35-TR Gladiator. Chris

Actually Gladiator websites shows just one Q35 which with the steel ply carcass tire ; (quote)
" It offers the QR35-TR®, a Premium 5-rib Trailer Service tire that can also be used in all positions,"
Then lists the one 235/85-16 G along with 22.5" and 24.5" tires sizes.

Like Discount Tire or the Tirerack and other tire dealer add specs that sometimes are different than the tire mfg specs I would go to the tire mfg websites and get the info straight from them. http://www.gladiatortires.com/benefits.php.

I am very happy with my G614s. 12,300#s on the axles, plus 5k miles and doing fine.

16" load G Tires like the Gladiator Q35 or the Sailun S637 or the Hercules H-901 are more of a commercial grade tire that are more popular with regional haulers (commerce) on their trailers than the G614.
Main reasons are those folks may run 75k+ miles a year so dollars saved when tire costs are factored into the business.

I have six Sailun S637 on a 36' tri axle GN stock trailer with 7k axles. Great tire for the bucks.

The G614, though expensive, are the way to go IMO.
