Replace 235/80/r16 14 ply

What would be a good tire to replace the OEM tires?

What are they on and how much weight are they carrying.

2021 Alpine, most tires in that size are rated for the same weight. Just looking for a couple brands to compare.

I would go with a steel cased tire, which all the above are.
Shop for price. Check Walmart.com.
I'm running Hercules Strong Guard. Check the warranties when shopping.

Thanks for all the options. Local dealer has the Saliun's in stock for $200 a tire installed?

Thats not a bad price installed.. Verify BEFORE they install that the Date Code is not within the group that was recently recalled...

A reputable tire shop should know this and not sell you tires that are on the recall list.. but it pays to check...

All metal valve stems of course..

I gather you are replacing the OEM HiSpec tires that came on that Alpine.. if so that's a very very wise decision you are making...

Link to recall info if needed:

What Chuck^^^^said. We paid $700 for four Sailuns installed on our Raptor in 2014 and it was a fair price then.

This helped make my decision that I had from getting service work done on my wheels that I need 5 new tires. My RV is a 2019, the tire manufacture date is 28-18 so and have 20k plus miles so its getting close to four years old. I was going to just get the two back tires but with the suggestions here I am going to get 5 tires.

I am going with the tire that Danny has the Sailun S637. I will check to find a dealer to get them on asap. That will make traveling a lot safer.

Thanks!

Good decision IMO. I must say that it's easy for all of us to spend your money so rhat said, if possible replace 5 if budget allows. Some folks replace tires on motor vehichles one axle at a time. Theory being (from many decades ago) that the steer axle tires wore quicker than the rear axle tires. That argument it moot if you regularly rotate your tires.

Trailer tires are different. First, they typically age out before they wear out. They should have the same wear as they close together and rotate the same distance with the same forces. Replacing one axle only can lead to "forgetting" about the other set. I'm stating this for the benefit of others as you mentioned the mfg date so you know the age factor. Curious though, is one set appreciably worn more than the other? If that's the case it could be an indicator of other issues.

The back tires were worn slightly more and I think that was from backing up. I have to back in to 90 turn at home, at storage and some of the campsites. I could have waited six more months because the wear was not a lot, but with the age of the tires it made since. I plan on traveling a lot this summer so I thought why wait. I want to avoid any problems. After reading more I am considering a monitoring system so that shows the temperature and air pressure.

I was surprised that the inflation pressure for the Sailun S637 is 110 psi.

Jim if you don't have a TPMS get one asap. You really need one with a rig that size. I have used a TST 507 system for several years and really like it. I think you will find that it's one of the favored TPMS systems and it will show you temp and pressure.

I use the TST507. I'm very satisfied with it. I had reached out to thier CS and found their support was very fast and knowledgeable. It seems like a very popular choice around here.

I have a set of Hercules on mine now. They're stiff, but I like them!

tire replacement

I would look at the Sailun S637 and Goodyear Endurance.
