20 years ago I had a set of tires that always looked under inflated. I always was checking them and they were spot on. Sure enough the tire ended becoming bald on each side and the center had greater than 60% of its tread left. I would go with my gut.

Thanks for the input. We will take another look this afternoon.

put a set of taskmaster 215/75 14" load rng d- look good so far-put them on a set of Sendel rims. had a bit of a struggle getting the spare up on the underneath rack.(Had to drop the psi to 50lbs before i could hang it-otherwise a NO-GO)-- the new rims and tires look great and freshen up the whole rig.-

drove my rig to Vermont from South Florida,ran 18 hours the first day on interstate i95,finished the next day.....tires were awesome-could not be happier.10 weeks later returned to Florida.Drove back via Blue Ridge Mountain parkway and the pavement surface was absolutely terrible.Some of the most challenging driving conditions-from dry and hot to wet and slippery.We have a 2014 chevy z71 and it preformed beatifully .Could not be happier with these tires and have great confidence.We pulled consistently at 75 mph,and stopped for fuel and a bite to eat..i inflated to 60lbs cold and these tires never got hot. i was really second guessing my decision to stay with the 14" tires..no more--- these are awesome down the road and wouldn't we change a thing!!!

"had a bit of a struggle getting the spare up on the underneath rack" I used longer bolts and self-locking nuts, NP in three years.

Glad to hear there are LR D 14s with nylon caps/overlays now. When I was looking there weren't any, just LR C.

75 mph, break any towing speed limits between Vermont and Florida?
Glad you like the tires!

I am on my second year with these tires about 10k miles no issues so far

We are still happy with the Taskmaster tires, 1 yr and 8 months and 5000 miles and getting ready to put another 3000 on them by the time we get back to Arizona. Wearing very well and no complaints.

We ran GY's on trailers for many years. Never had an issue except every few years a nail, screw or road trash, which you get with any tire. For many years I would air them up at the start of the year with +7 psi, and at the end of the year they were still slightly above the load to PSI chart psi for my load.

I check the air every morning I travel, re-balance once a year. Have gotten to the point that I don't take an air compressor on trips. They are so reliable. But old habits are hard to break and I still check the air.

This year we put a set of GY endurace's LD-E on the camper. I aired them up to LR-D 65 psi. They seem like the best tire we have had. Very stiff side walls.
