Looking at the GY website for the 215/75R17.5:

Speed: 75 mph
Load: 4,805 lbs
Weight: 60#
Max Inflate: 125#

Running to age would be up to you... How far will you travel in 6 years?

Keep the tires at max pressure and you should be fine when it comes to heat. Inspect frequently and before travel.

Just a quick note, this tire issue is not just RW, when I joined the Montana Forum in 09, the most common post was in regard to tire issues. It all comes down to dollars and cents for the MFRs, but they generally do offer upgraded better tires, but folks just aren't aware of the issues until it's too late.

Ahhhhh...Quality and Engineering Standards. Bait and Switch I call it. Look pretty, get you home, and then you can discover the problems.

I'll say it again...I appreciate Redwood and the support you get, but things like this are never fixed (you bought it this way) and should not be allowed to happen in the first place.

Maybe it would help if there were RV Shopper's Classes? I see a new business line...That way, you could get a heads up about the many engineering defects and then negotiate a lower price since they are inferior product designs.

Why has Wal-Mart been so successful? why can't I go to the small town clothing store and get a pair of pants where they know my size,
We have been shopping with our wallet for so long that the retailers are only competing on price.
So if you have the Redwood setting next to the Landmark or some other competitor at the show and the redwood has the I.S. disk brakes 17.5 H rated tires and it priced $8000 more, most shoppers will pass it buy. human nature?
Just happy I could upgrade these things.
Just my thoughts.

Clothing is one thing and I can agree with your metaphor...I suspect there are a lot of 1st timers and some who just plain don't know the difference. But they eventually come to learn.

Now having said that, the manufacturers know better. Using your methaphor, many people would probably buy a car without safety belts and under-rated tires if there wasn't some kind of regulation in place. Same for the housing industry. Many buy without having a clue to know what to look for and don't even bother to educate themselves first. Now, I get it that cars and houses are expensive. But I would never buy a car or house without some kind of knowledge about what I am getting into. Same for an RV. It's just that we don't have a choice and we are forced to buy under-rated equipment so that we can go out and spend additional funds doing what should have been done by ALL the manufactures to begin with. Not just Redwood.

Received my tires and wheels from "TITAN GUY" Friday. Got them put on today. VERY happy with this decision and am looking forward to not having to be afraid a tire will blow whenever we travel.
Thanks for all the input!

I ordered mine on Thursday. Dis you get the Goodyear's or the other ones?. Mine should be here before we leave on our trip to the rally. I am tired of buying tires every year.

I got the sailun s637's. They have a great reputation. Specs the same as the Goodyear and anybody with real experience gives them high marks. Looking forward to a life not worrying about blow outs.

I have 2 Sailun G rated tires on the Rv now along with 2 Carlisle F rated tires since the blowout a week ago. So I will be selling one G rated tire with 400 miles on it and 3 Carlisle. 2 with 7500 miles and 1 with 20k miles on it. Using the other G as a spare.

New tires arrived from titan man yesterday and were installed by me this morning. Now I have tires to get rid of. Only six days from order to delivery. Outstanding service.

Had same problem and after two blow outs upgraded to "G" rated tires.

G is a good tire...

H is a H_ _ _ of a good tire.

$5000-$8000 damage on the RV as a result of a blown tire. NOT so good...

Do your math, get the Smart Weigh per tire, consider the margin. The closer you are, the higher the risk damage that may occur. If your nose high (even slightly), you're stressing the rear tires more than the front tires. The opposite applies for nose down.

Totally agree. After the 2015 Escapees weigh-in and damaging E- rated tire blowout this April I now have 17.5" H-rated tires on our 36RL. The G ratings were a little close to max for me. With the robust Mor/Ryde shackle link/bronze bushings/wet bolt install and the G-rated 16-ply tires with the previously installed Titan disc brakes the drive back to KC from Shipshewana was super smooth and relaxing. The rear observation camera and TPMS added additional peace of mind and control. This is the first time I felt safe and relaxed pulling our 36RL. Also should mention that our new 2016 Silverado 3500 HD DWD Crew Cab long bed High Country is at max GCWR per the weigh-in at Shipshewana and that is with empty tanks, lightly loaded RV and no extra cargo in the truck. If I was to load this RV for extended trips most likely a Freightliner or other heavy duty truck would be required to assure maximum safety and dependability.

Robert, something doesn't jive with your & my weights, I have a '13 GMC dually & '13 FB & according to my individual weights I'm well within truck & trailer capacities. I'll have to locate my paperwork (I've got a bad case of CRS) & double check. Mine was weighed at a KOA park in Canada by a fellow that did weights for the Canadian highway dept & he weighed each wheel on truck & trailer hooked /unhooked & provided a printout.

Like Danny, I am also surprised that your dually is almost at GCVWR. With our old SRW we were at or close to every limit, but with the F350 DRW we have a substantial safety margin.

Don't know the GM specs, but all 3 are probably reasonably close.
