You can special order that same tire from WalMart for $78.84 each, free shipping and $12 (per tire) lifetime mount/balance/rotation with road hazard lifetime warranty.... https://www.walmart.com/search/?quer...isle%206H04561

When I click on the link from Amazon they come up @ $78.13 with free shipping. I have Prime but I can't imagine it would be that different.

That's true, the tires are about 50 cents cheaper on Amazon, but if you buy them there, then take them to a tire installer, most will charge you around $30 per tire to mount/balance them (and you don't get any road hazard or rotation services)...

If you buy them from WalMart, you get $12.50 mount/balance/road hazard/rotation services. Plus, WalMart will service them at any of their stores where they have an auto service center....

If you buy from Amazon and pay $30 a tire for mount/balance, they'll actually cost you about $120 more than buying them from WalMart.... At least that's the way I see it..... YMMV

The GY Endurance may be the latest greatest RV tire on the market, yet to be determined, but you will pay 50% more per tire for them over the next best, or equivalent, tire.
My last 5th wheel had 16" GY 614s G rated, when it came time to replace them, 45k miles & 5 years, I upgraded to 17.5" H rated Sailun S637s with new wheels for cost of the replacement of 3 of the 16" GYs & had very good luck with the Sailuns til I sold the RV.

Lower speed rated than Endurance. Sometimes you do get what you pay for.

Be careful on the mount/balance part... my local Wallys in Castroville looked stunned and confused and were not sure they could mount/balance camper tires if I drove my 5ver over there. Suggest anyone hoping Wallys can mount/balance call first or take the tires off your camper (put it on blocks I guess) and take them over. I bought Carlisle tires from Wallys and took my 5ver to a mom and pop tire shop in Castroville and got them mounted/balanced.
