Hi,
After having seven E rated tires destroyed in seven years on two different fifth wheel campers, we're considering upgrading to G rated tires.
I've read several of the post here concerning tires and have checked made sure that the wheels on our current Jayco Pinnacle are capable of the 110 psi of a G rated tires.
The majority of the reason for this change is our two year old camper has already gone through three tires. From the research here I realize part of our problem is we often drive seventy miles an hour and the ST E rated tires are designed for sixty-five. Goodyear's G614 G rated tires max tire speed is seventy-five. Granted driving at the design speed, or higher, could cause the belt shifting I notice on the E rated tires. But not all of the tires that were destroyed had any unusual wear before littering the highway with rubber.
The loaded weight of our camper is in the 13,250 range with seven thousand pound axles.
Any advice is appreciated.
