Provider G rated Tires? Anyone with ingenious mud flap idea

Just purchased a 2015 Alpine 3010RE that has Provider G rated tires. Just wandering if anyone else has them and how they have done. I know this can be a BIG topic of discussion...tires?????. I have had many trailers and have had pretty good luck with all the tires. Having axles aligned, load trailer properly, level trailer properly and air pressure are all keys to good and bad tires success. Also cannot believe Keystone could not come up with a mud flap so the tires don't throw everything all over my leveling jacks and under belly. Any ingenious ideas out there. Thank you all!!!!

I'm sure you could use threaded rod off of the frame somehow like they used to do in the old days with rear mud flaps on trucks. Although a mud flap may work to keep some debris off, unless you had a complete fender liner, it'll still spray enough to cover the jacks and slides.

I know... I know...That is why I said ingenious..:. Really spray is not my biggest concern it is the direct impact of road debris that worries from past experience. But thank you

Thank you. My wife and I both served and it was an honor to be able too, but now we have grown up and have to figure out what we want to do with our lives.

As for the flaps, I would think you could bolt, weld, or clamp a bracket to the frame with some square tubing that would be able to support a sturdy flap.

Maybe your approaching it wrong. What about a shield in front of the jacks, or are they too close to the rear tire?

Our Fuzion came with Saliun 635 G rated tires with 110 psi. It was one of the only Fusion's to have double axles only so they put better tires on them. Most of the triple axle trailer's came with E rated tires. I think these tires are near bullet proof. Not sure if you are looking for feedback on tires or mudflaps. No comment on flaps as our Tires are inside the body of the TH.

I'm wondering about the G rated Arisun tires on my 2015 Fuzion 325. Not much info on the net about them...obviously Chinese, but isn't these days.

flaps

Hey Dave, I fabricated flaps from white plastic Big Rig flaps from local Peterbilt dealer. I made cardboard patterns and cut out the plastic, mounted to frame outrigers behind tire. allow ground clearance so as not to pinch off if backing up to a curb.-----Lou----- P.S. plastic cuts easy with fine blade sabre saw.
