Thats just it, you can't trust a tire manufacturer that commits fraud like this one did by skimping on the the bonding layer of the tire. The g-rated spec is infact a g-rated spec, but it does not mean that it is manufactured with no shortcuts, especially intentionally, and knowingly taking a shortcut that saves the manufacturer money and cheats the customer.
Would you put chinese oil in your Ford Diesel? If you would, then you should buy $25 Chinese tires for $250 from Dynamic Tire, knowing that they are the ones that distribute and honor your warranty for your BlowMax tires.
I don't know why anyone would do business with a Chinese tire company especially this one. A chinese dog food company can't even be trusted to ship dogfood to the United States without dumping their hazardous waste in it. Remember that?
Nobody knows how to bond rubber to a carcass better than Goodyear, Michelin, Pirelli, Bridgestone. A G-rated knock off Chinese tire named Goodride ROFLMAO, that should be your first signal. Thats like selling lead and calling it silver. Its not my money, but I cannot understand why anyone would buy a Heartland rig then cheap out on the tires.
People spend all kinds of money on the truck, "gotta have a dually if you want to tow correctly," gotta have special hitches and any number of products for the rig. They devote all kinds of attention to detail, and after all that consternation they buy the most inferior tires on the market for their rig in order to save a few dollars. This inevitably leads to a blowout and a tire changing session and a damaged RV. It does not make sense! If a $400/set difference between a quality tire and a cheap Chinese tire is going to break an owner, perhaps he needs to sell the rig and get another hobby. Of course if the owner is just transporting it across town to park it in a trailer park then I guess it's fine, but if you are using it for pleasure and real RVing, then you really should put some boots on that rig.
My comments are not directed at the OP. He is only making an inquiry of any one who has any experience with Goodride tire. I'm commenting on it because I just happened to have read how the manufacturer of this tire was prosecuted for perpetrating a fraud by using an inadequate bonding layer on one of their tire lines, resulting in a prosecution and recall.
If I'm buying a Chinese tire, I want a heck of deal, not some petty $90 difference. Chinese labor is so cheap, that tire can be manufactured and shipped to the United States for $50. $200 is way too expensive for a Chinese tire. It is also important to note that American Workers pay the taxes that pay our social security and keep this country going. Every dollar we spend over there is a dollar an American worker cannot earn. Keep buying that junk you will need to learn to speak Chinese.
