No issues at all on my 3950. Michael asked me to verify my stud size (1/2") and they send new lugnuts and center caps as well. Call and ask for Michael - very helpful.

I put the same tires on my rig last year. I'm happy with them to this point, I've put double the miles on them compared to the Powerkings they replaced.
I had two tires to pick from, first one was just as flimsy as the Powerkings. The other was the Gladiator.
If I could find someone to align the axles, I could see the Gladiators lasting 20k miles. I should be hitting 10k this month and I think I should make it to 12-13k before the alignment problem scrubs the shoulder off.

Thanks for the info hd, good to know. I could tell by weight alone that these were by far more tire than the Akurets. Hope I have the same experience with them as you.

The 17.5 inch Hi-Spec Series 07 Black Rims with the Continental J rated HTL Eco Pluses are on there way. No one told me toy hauler ownership would be more expensive than boat ownership....

Great choice of wheels/tires. That's exactly what I ordered.
At least we don't have to worry about putting the hull plug in the RV! Not that I ever did that.

A boat is a hole in the water you pour money into, an RV is a whole in the road you pour money into.

Yes I did mean 235/85-16's, thank you. So far the gladiators have been great but I only have about 1000+ miles on them. Absolutely no complaints

Does anyone know if the 235 75r on the 17.5 rims will fit on a 3200 or do I need to get the 215's. I am looking to get the little bit of height to help my nose high problem

If you are getting the G rated tires I think you will be happy with them.
My wonderful misaligned Dexter axles shredded the Power Kings in 5K, put the Gladiators on and have doubled the mileage. I wish I could have had the axles straightened while we were on our trip last year.
I have no doubt that the Gladiators will go outdated before they wear out.

Should fit fine. You will only gain about a 1/4" in height over the stock ones. Tires have the same width.

Decker,
Are your axles out of alignment or bent???
I had a misaligned axle on a TT that just kept shredding tires....
it was an easy fix, less than $200 at a BigTex trailer shop.
Over the phone the shop had me check the alignment was bad by measuring back to the tires from the A frame jack. (on a FW drop a plumb bob from the king pin) Since Correct Track adjust in increments of 1/8 an inch, I would figure anywhere near there you should be in good shape. Past that if you can't find an RV Dealer to align the axle try a commercial trailer shop like BigTex. If I remember there was over an inch difference in the measurements on the TT I had that kept blowing tires.
A bent axle can probably be replaced for not much more than it will be to straighten out and you'll have a new axle to boot. I replaced a 3500# axle on a boat trailer for around $400, again at BigTex. (the 7000# axles are $325 on eBay)
With the high cost of trailer tires I consider any work on my axles to be a good investment.
