RE: BlowMax Tires
I have gone thru all 6 towmax tires on my Raptor in 1 1/2 years . I check them before i leave each time i go on the road and so far have been lucky and found bad tires before they found me. My neighbor didn't beleave me and found out the hard way when one of his blew up and remodeled the side of his trailer. I want to upgrade to Goodyear G14 or some other rib tire but they are all 235 85 which is 1" larger than my 235 80 and don't have the space between the tires for clearance . I was told by someone that the Goodyear G14 235 85 is the same size inflated as the Towmax 235 80 !!!! Does anyone know the true diameter of an infalated Goodyer G14 235 85 tire ???

RE: In search of top 5 quality/durable toy haulers, 14+ Garage
I I thought I'd share this one because it has a 17ft. Garage: http://www.warriorlifestyles.com/luxuary_4005.html. I wish I could comment on the quality, but I don't own one and this is a new model. Maybe someone who has another warrior can chime in. Good luck :)
It's nothing but a Weekend Warrior with a new name. After WW left thousands of customers high and dry, I sure wouldn't want to make a gamble with his new nameplate.
Oh wow, it's the same company? Yeah, no bueno.
No it's not. Do your homework before you speak.
Do your homework , same owner !!!

RE: Why are THs so tall?
So you can stand up in the bedroom over the truck bed . If you look at older 5th wheels you see the front that tall then the back went down. Now days they stay the tall hieght for many reasons . One is to be able to out lofts above the garage , 2 fit taller toys that we have now days.

RE: Some very interesting new toyhaulers out there...
With the 14' garage I still had to double tow a second trailer for the second RZR. I can now get away with a 10' garage and double tow, but I won't get smaller than a 12' garage for packing along other stuff. An 18' garage would let me put both RZRs inside for the trips. But the wife is the one that needs to approve.
Mav
I built a rack above my truck cab to carry my Wifes RZR. Here in California its not so easy to tow a second trailer.

RE: Some very interesting new toyhaulers out there...
Hope this doesn't sound like a silly ques but can you put the RZRs on dollys and spin them around sideways or are they too long even to do that? Just a thought.
They are to long !!

RE: E350 with 460 legal towing weight.
There's nothing illegal about towing any weight trailer. Towing weight is not a legal enforceable thing. Do you really think the cops have a book that tells them exactly what the tow rating is of every vehicle ever made in case they pull one over?
Iv heard about DOT cops. Just didn't know what they looked at and what numbers I had to know or produce.
They can weigh your TV and they can weigh your trailer. If any weights exceed the ratings for your tires or your axles, it's game over.
Or if the weights on the stickers exceed the limits of your driver's license, it's game over.
Exceeding the capacity of your TV isn't an issue for law enforcement though--just your tires, axles, and license.
The catch all is "An unsafe load"
I just built a rack to carry a RZR over the top of my F350 and asked my neighbor who is a CHP DOT inspector if he thought i would have and problems !! He told me that almost no CHP is going to give you a ticket for "unsafe load " because they have to go to court and prove it was unsafe which is very hard to do. He says they go for the "over GVW"but there has to be a scale within 5 miles , can't make you drive further to weight you . He adds all the tire rates and if your over you get a ticket and don't drive away .

RE: Michelin XPS rib or Goodyear G614
The Ribs come in a 245/75/16 size. Same load rating as the 235/85/16.
Thanks for the information , checking on getting some today .
Needs 6.5 inch wide wheels per tire manufacturer's. FYI, only need to maintain 1" between tires.
I only have 1 1/4" now with the 235/80/16 . with the 235/85/16 i would only have 1/4" and thats not going to work.

RE: Michelin XPS rib or Goodyear G614
His rig is a tri-axle - he doesn't need 4000lbs rating on each tire.
I put Bridgestone R250s on mine - LT tires capacity technically down from the ST rating of the OEM tires, but still more than what my rig weighs when it's loaded to GVWR.
I put two on before my 5000+ mile trip this summer and they still look new. The other 4 haven't rolled an inch yet.
I'm very happy to have some good Japanese tires on my TH.
Same here. The R250's perform really well.
Does anyone else have anything to say about the Bridgestone R250's ??? I checked and get a 245 75 16 that is the same diamiter as the original tires on my trailer , 1/2 wider which should be ok.

RE: Michelin XPS rib or Goodyear G614
New problem !! The tires i have on my trailer now are 235 80 16 . The Rib or G614 only come in 235 85 16 with proper losd rating. The 235 85 16 have 1" larger diamiter which transfer out 1/2" between the tires per tire ,i only have a total of 1 1/4 " between tires from axle to axle on the rear axle which would only leave 1/4" . I don't think that is enuff clerance.

RE: Michelin XPS rib or Goodyear G614
I have a 2011 Raptor 4014 (43') and need to get new tires . Which tire do you think would be a better tire for this size and weight trailer ??
Have you weighed the trailer yet? empty vs full?
We have a 3912 and went with 17.5's now can have the speed rating and plenty of capacity left over.
i havn't weighed the trailer at all but i think i'm going to this week .

RE: Michelin XPS rib or Goodyear G614
I'm sure you have a triple axle. Michelin XPS Rib in 235/85/75 size will give you more than enough capacity.
No need to go out and buy new wheels.
3042*6=18252. If you have more weight than that on the axles, you have more to worry about than tires.
I agree with you !!! I think i'm going to get the Michelin , i had an auto repair for many years and always like them.

RE: Michelin XPS rib or Goodyear G614
17.5 inch would be the best solution. You would end up with tires that have over 4000 each load rating.
Not an option for me because ther is only a couple of inchs between the tires .
