Well after several tread loss and one blowout I finally decided the GY G114 "H" 17.5 tires could not handle running within a few hundred pounds of their Max Carrying Capacity. I rarely towed at 70 and mostly 60. Outside temps were never HOT. GY gave me a whole new set of tires with me paying for tread use that was minimal but one year later I had a blowout and decided that was enough.
I still believe they are one of the best tires out there but not for me any longer. GY did buy me a new tire and paid for repairs totaling around $5,200.
I bought a set of GY K Max J rated tires being told they were US Made. I sent them back as they were Made in Slovenia and they had no user ratings plus they were dated 4020. So I caved and bought Continental HTL2 ECO Plus 235/75 R17.5 18 ply "J" from Americas tire. I ordered them 12/27 and just had them installed on new Alcoa rims.
These tires are very popular with the heavier DRV/Mobile Suites crowd with no reported issues. These are made in Czech Republic (a free Country) and were dated all around 5021 so they are VERY fresh.
These tires are HEAVY!!! They look almost like drag slicks. I got a smoking price as I really doubt you can get them for less, looks like $500 each online. Rims are rated 6,050#, I will probably be running 100psi.
I wanted to buy US Made but not a single tire made here with those ratings.

Funny you posted this.... I have been researching the Continental Tires as my tires will need to be replaced after next season. At that point they will have 5 seasons on them.. I was looking at the 215/75 R17.5
It will be interesting to hear your reports...
Have you had issues with your GYโs?
Not the 17.5โs.. yes with the G614โs.. but Iโve heard several people I trust have issues with The GY.. not a lot, just a fewโฆ always like to have my options

Off come the GY undies and on with the Continental ones!
Hope AmZoil never lets you down. Heard tattoo removal is painful....
What was wrong with your old rims?
Had two get scuffed with the blowout so they paid me more than the cost of Alcoa's. I hauled the GY tires and wheels to NW WA last month and will be selling 4 tires and wheels on CL this Spring. Tires are like new with one having 500 miles.
To be clear I still LOVE my GY ENDURANCE on my Boat trailer.
It will be a COLD day for AMZ/OIL or B&W to disappoint me!!!
