I don't want to change anything - I just shop for the manufacture that offers them as an option, or is willing to add them as an option. My manufacturer put 8K axles on mine at the time of order, G614s, and disk brakes, all under warranty and a significant increase in GVWR on the VIN sticker. No dreamin here. They now offer 17.5" wheels and H tires as an option from the factory. Far less cost than retrofitting it later. You guys should get out of your camper more often.:R
RRRRRRRRight, so you want to change a manufactures design specify a change, add cost through a third party and have the original manufacture warranty the change. The effects to the system will also have to be warranted. This group is full of dreamers.

Quote "I've started the slow search of possibly a new fifth wheel and have been told more than once to make sure the dealer takes the Chinese tires off and replace them with "G" load tires. That what I have on my fifth wheel now and agree all these "E" rated tires should not be on these heavier fifth wheels.
So, of course the dealer will change out the tires if you are willing to pay them to do it but who's getting the dealer to change them to save the deal without raising the cost of the unit.
