321rsts tire replacement

[ftwkma]

Next year will be time to replace tires on our 18’ 321rsts. Other than Goodyear endurance tires do you have any other suggestions for non China bomb tires? Is load g over kill??

If you do end up going to Goodyear, I purchased from a dealer called Discount tire. They had the Goodyear promotional schedule and told when the next promo on Trailer tires was. So I delayed the purchase, but they ordered the tires in advance and held them for me so I could purchase and install same day. I think it was $150 extra off for the set of 4.

So did you take or are you going to take your 5th wheel there? I think that I will need some myself if we don't get a Class A motorhome.

@Big1, You can usually take the trailer to Discount Tire. Pick one with a good lot configuration via google maps. I’m taking mine in for tires next week. Too much work to take the tires/wheels off and run them there and back. I’ll be in and out in 25 mins. They did have to order the good years, but they arrived in 3 days.

My discount tire has a small lot in a congested area, I pulled all 4 wheels, loaded them in the truck and had them load them back in. I needed to check all brakes and bearings anyway.

I took my camper in for tire service and surprised the employee when I asked them to balance the tires before finishing up. He said they rarely did that. Should we ask for the tires to be balanced?

I’ve seen rumors of that on a thread here and there. Good luck with your decision. The model you’re considering looks really nice. We’d like a Class A as well. Maybe someday when it’s just the two of us and I can comfortably afford one with a motor in the back. This is the first trailer I’ve owned long enough to replace the tires. Batteries soon too I think.

I've had good experiences with Sailun tires.

I'm not sure there is a good answer. I always do as it doesn't add much to the cost. I know how an out of balance tire feels on a vehicle so it makes sense that an out of balance tire on a fifth wheel transmits some shaking to the inside. It may not be enough to matter but I feel better about it.

hmm,,, i just checked my TT tires and not one of them have any balance weights.. A little concerning because i know for a fact that unbalanced tires can un rattle your 'cage'... Luckily the tires don't show any signs of unbalanced tire wear.. I'll definitely be asking for the tire balance when i replaced them, which is coming up very soon.
