Fayne -
If you look on the sidewall of the tire, you might find the speed rating beside the tire's load index. Either one or both of these numbers may not be there as they are not required by law. Have you tried going to the Galaxy Tire website to see if you can find any information there about that specific tire? The rating may be given as a letter which would correspond to speed rating.
There has been an ongoing debate not only on this forum but also on every other RV forum about Chinese tires. You will get varying opinions from everybody on here. Some, upon learning that they have Chinese tires, immediately swap them out for a domestic brand. Some will leave them on and when they show signs of wear or after 1 or 2 years, will remove and replace them. Finally, others will leave them on since they have had no issues with them after 3, 4 or 5 years of use.
Chinese tires do have a bad reputation but I'm not totally convinced that it is well-founded and I've yet to see any evidence backed up by research and testing that proves that they are unsafe or significantly inferior.
I am not suggesting or encouraging another debate about the pros and cons of Chinese tires. There has been more than enough discussion about this topic and if you are looking for advice, you will get plenty of it!
We have also discussed at great lengths replacements for Chinese tires. I would suggest that you spend some time doing a forum search of this topic and if you cannot find any answers about replacements from that search, we'll be glad to help you out.
