Where did you find them for $323 each?
Also, my local GY dealer told me two days ago that the tire has been discontinued. Trying to find out about that for sure.
I went online and found 3 or four places. Discount was one that comes to mind. Google it and see what you find. If it's discontinued maybe the websites are not up to date. If so I'm sure they have replaced it with something comparable. Very popular tire for lowbed semi trailers.

I hope they're NOT discontinued but that's what my dealer to me GY said and that they're just using up inventory. If they're still available when I get to Texas this winter I'll replace the other 4 on my trailer with them.

The easternmarine.com price is great with a wheel.. Are these GY G614's a notch above the Duravis R250? I know the numbers are better.. But is it a better tire? Price is to close not to consider..

The R250 and G614s are apples vs oranges. They doen't compare.
The G614 is a load range G tire 110 psi rated 3750 lbs capacity. Four of them = 15000 lbds of capacity
The R250 is a load range E at 80 psi and 3042 lbs of capacity and work great on 6k axles. Four of then = 12168 lbs of capacity.
Early years of production G614 has had issues prior to the '08/'09 era. Goodyear made changes after a certain date so maybe there fixed.
We don't hear of tire issues with the R250 when used on a trailer.

.............Can't we safely assume that a tandem axle 5'ver is 80% on the tires and the other 20% is on the tow vehicle ?? So , 5 x 3042 = 15,210 !! , jf

I'd guess it would depend on the manufacturer, but Heartland doesn't allow that math.

Many tandam axle GN/5th wheel trailers fit in the 20 percent hitch weight areana. However tandam axle trailers have 4 3042 lb capacity tires on the ground = 12168 lbs.
