I don't think there is anything wrong with the Rainer tires on your fifth wheel if they were on a smaller, lighter travel trailer. What I believe to be true is that they are not of a high enough capacity to carry the weight of a Montana fifth wheel.

People that change to Sailuns are going from a 12 ply tire that is lightweight and going to a G rated 14 ply tire. The difference is night and day.

We purchased a brand new Montana HC 331RL in January of 2019. I removed the Rainers in April of that same year. I was able to pick up and hold a 12 ply Rainer as well as the 14 ply Sailun and man, what a difference.

The sidewall is heavier, the tread is deeper and the overall weight of the material in the Sailun is just much better. After spending my hard earned money on a new fifth wheel, I'm glad we switched to a 14 ply tire for our unit.

I won't tell anyone to replace a brand new tire, I'm just saying I feel much better for my unit having a 14 ply G rated tires on it.
