I stumbled across this today....now I'm thinking these might replace my Michelins.
LT235/85R16G rated for 3,758# at 110psi
This is the only 16" "G" rated LT tire that I'm aware of.

You might want to add this to the thread:

Load range G tire option for 16"'ers

 

It's not the only one, but they look nice and actually have some tread. Others are not loaded that high or have no tread (trailer tires).

Wonder how much they run for.

Anyone know what our stock wheels are rated to though?

 

I wonder how much is known about their performance. My michelins are proven which is greatly factoring in to my purchase of new tires soon. My stock 265/75/16E Michelin A/S (currently at 65K) are rated for 3415 @ 80 PSI.

 

I see no real reason to run the LR G's unelss you need it. But it is a nice option for those who run heavy.

 

Remember that to run 110 PSI you will have to change rim. Standard rims are for 80 PSI max. Went through this with a trailer tire upgrade to G169's. Was worth the extra $$. Added an extra ton of weight capacity. Now the axles are the limit.

 

How do we know the wheels are only rated to 80 PSI?

 

Goodyear has a new Radial G rated ST that looks real good. I just put four on my rig before leaving for the summer. Happy so far. I am assuming you mean trailer tires, right???

 

these particular ones definitely look like LT tires, not just trailer tires -- they have some decent tread on em.

 

Nope, I was talking truck (LT) tires for this thread. I just think tires should last longer for highway use than what they do on average. The other "G" tire thread is more trailer tire talk.
I e-mailed Greenball, and still have no response

 

Just to clarify, the Goodyear Unisteel G614 RST is a trailer-specific tire but is designated as an LT tire - the only available size at present is LT235/85R-16G. See HERE. They came as original equipment on our current 5th wheel.

The greenball has some decen ttread vs the G614...g614 would be SCARY in the rain.

 

The G614 is a trailer tire. I don't think anyone is suggesting using it on the truck - at least, I certainly wasn't!

Rusty,
That configuration is quite confusing. I did a double take when I first looked at the tire when I installed them. Big print - - G614 RST - - little print lists as an LT. Confusing. The tread is certainly not made for a truck - - it is not flat.

Just to follow up, the Greenball price on the load range G 235 85 16's is $140 per tire with $20 shipping charge. If you find a dealer you could probably pick up and pay less.
