I have the Continentals and couldn't be happier. Zero sidewall flex and rock steady going down the road. No more sway, etc. Sold my stockers on Craigslist to a guy with a heavy equipment trailer.

Just give them away cause they're worth nothing. I have Good Year G614s no problems yet. Others will recommend what they think is best. If I keep this trailer I will eventually spring for the 17 inch rims and tires. But for now my tires are fine.
Actually G614's are still USA made. I would certainty get rid of the tires provided by Dutchman to deliver the unit to the dealer lot only, if they even make it there... I've talked to delivery drivers in Goshen Indiana that have experienced blowouts before even making it to the dealer. Nuff said.

I just replaced the Westlake tires with the Goodyear G614s and the difference was remarkable. I was intending to go with the Continentals and my wife nixed that, but I can't complain. I've already pulled the TH for 0ver 500 miles and it was a completely different experience from the first set of tires. Totally worth the switch IMO.

Did you get these from trailerwheels.com? That was where I was gonna get my wheels and tires...sounds like the same package you got. Was this for 6 tires/wheels?
How do you like the Hercules so far? Are yours the 215/75R17.5? Or are you using a 16 inch wheel?
Anyway, any details you can provide regarding your package (source, number of tires/wheels, satisfaction), would be great.

I was able to get $650 for my stockers on Craigslist. For those that switched to the 17.5 did you get a 17.5 spare wheel and tire or did you keep the original spare. I know my original spare is very close to the same size, but I was thinking about getting a 17.5 spare since replacement on the road may be difficult.

I'll probably stay with the 16" spare. Hopefully I won't ever have to mount it and it's only about 1/2" smaller...so in a pinch it could be used (driving SLOWLY).
What size did you end up with? I know you wanted a little more lift on the coach. Did you see any difference in height after mounting?

I have a 14 v3605 are the stock rims on these rated at 110psi or does anyone know? I'm thinking of keeping stock rims if rated at 110 and going with a F or G rated tire.

Yes I believe your wheels are rated at 110 psi. To double check, crawl under and look on the inside of the rim, it will be stamped there.

I went with the 215's. The 235 size would have given me a little more height but they cost more and then the 16 stock spare would have deffinately been too small.

I think you will find that most not all of us that switched to the 17.5 went with the 215/75 tires. Those are the closest match to the stock 16" size. That way you can still use the stock spare if needed.

Did you have 235-80-16 original tires? What sort of fender clearance do you have? My 235-80-16 have really tight clearance. Anyone know how much the coach moves up and down on the springs? I have some points where the fender clearance is less than 1".

Have the same clearance with the 215/75-17.5 that I had with the stock 16" tire. Clearance is tight but nothing has rubbed & I drove 4000 + miles last summer with the 17.5 tires

Question, I leave in the morning for my first trip with my V3305 and am questioning the tires, I have had many friends with other Toyhaulers with problems. I would like to get this one trip on the crap tires, but can stop thinking about them. So chance them or change them in the morning?

I'm like you Jrod. Just picked mine up Monday. Came with Westlake tires. I've been told they are "China" tires as well. Concerned about blowing one with all the resulting body damage that happens, but at the same time, I would like to take a financial "breather" between buying the unit and then all the expense of setting it up. I'd do it but the wife is a little harder to convince. Have a safe trip

We picked up our unit with the stockers and hauled it about 1500 miles home without any problems...but we weren't loaded either. Just water and some basic supplies to get us home.

Have 11,000 miles on stock west lake tires. Keep them at max inflation rate. Have had my v30005 since October. Carry 2,500 lbs of cargo plus personal stuff. My only problem at this point is my rv rides nose high Front is 4.5 inches higher than back. Have Dodge Ram 2500 4 wheel drive with stock tires. Trying get this fixed. Have adjusted hitch on my truck to lowest position and have adjusted king pin on trailer to its lowest point. Looking at having my leaf springs re-arched. With 5lbs of air pressure in my air bags no squat in the truck
