How I came to my decision: If you read every forum thread in a search for "towmax" on this site and other rv forums, most will say Goodyear G614, but 4 tires alone are $1500. Add rims, even though a Wingfoot Goodyear store told me that they would mount the G614 on my 6 inch OEM rim, you can add $$$ to the tab. I will not be buying GY at that price as my first option. I hope I do not regret it in time. The second best option seems to be the Sailun 14 ply, made in China,, but they are supposed to have the best or only QA Rating requirements for China tires. I was buying them until Sailun reccommended against mounting their tire on my 16x6 inch rim, even though I know others have had success mounting G rated 14 ply tires on OEM rims. Unless we each share model numbers and pictures, we really do not know which specific rim Heartland uses on each model they sell. All 16 inch rims are NOT created equal. At the tire store, NONE of them looked at my rim to give me prices, as long as I told them I saw the rim stamped for 110psi. They ALL said that if the factory mounted tire was 235, then they were comfortable mounting another 235 tire since that number was the same (except Sailun who my tire guy called). Going from 80 to 85 makes the tire taller and increases the load rating. My experience is that Towmax is 3520lbs rated at 80 psi. I am going with a F rated 12 ply 90 psi CarlisleRadial Trail RH 23585R16 rated at 3960lbs is an improvement over the E rated 10 ply Towmax. Since my axles are rated at 7000 total, 3500 each tire, my axles are the limiting component. I feel that I am increasing my margin to blowouts with the Carlisle tire at a price of $660 for four tires designed for a 16x6 rim. THIS boils down to no one can really say what is best, just what has been successful for them, and how much money they had to try to solve the problem. IF you have a heavy 5er 15,500 lbs, with two axles, you have more stress on each tire, 12,500 on tires-3000 on pin/hitch(based on my scale measurements). 12,500/4tires means 3125 needed per tire loading. (That is how Heartland can justify putting the 3520 lb rated tire on 5ers -11% margin). Add 20% margin and you desire 3750lbs for each tire. Summarize it that we should have had tires rated at 3750 each from Heartland and many of these blowouts would not be happening. IF you have 3 axles your 5er is probably 18,000 lbs with 3500 on pin (my guess), 15,000 /6 tires is 2500per tire. Weight is spread out more, but I think 3 axle 5ers are still buying better load rated tires based on personal or anecdotal experiences.. It ends up being a personal choice of brand and rating based on what people, even tire salesman, tell you and how much you want to spend. I have read the negative comments/experiences regarding Carlisle trailer tires. I have also read that the newer Carlisle manufacturing process Radial "RH", may solve the Carlisle issue with tire failure. RH was added to their tire to signify newer technology in manufacturing. Even though Carlisle Tires are made in China, Carlisle is an "American" company that chooses to have their factory in Asia, like most tire manufacturers. Carlisle claims they uphold "American" standards in part by having American managers overseeing their Asian operations. Time will tell. There HAS to be a less expensive proven tire besides the GY. I am hoping I can report good service from this RH Carlisle to help inform others on this site. IF they blowout too, I will be upgrading tires and rims to support 14 ply Sailun or GY. I have also read that LT light truck tires do NOT belong on trailers, and ST tires do NOT belong on trucks, however MANY have had success doing it with Michelin and other big name tires. Life is full of choices.
