Excellent. Yes, the tire shop should already have that in mind. It a metal valve stem that's held in place by a nut threaded on. They're cheap.

Don't know about the metal valve stems as when I had my Endurance tires installed I inquired about installing and they said not necessary and they are a very reputable tire shop. Being they would cost more you would have thought they insist on installing. Tires have over 8000 miles on them and no issues. Later RJD

What so great about that price seems pretty high compared to my $120 per tire. Total for mounting and new valve stems $550. Later RJD

Definitely go with the metal stems....they are only about $4 each. Even though the rubber ones may not be failing....err on the side of safety. Most rubber stems are only rated to 80 psi....some go a bit higher...but steel is a must, especially if you have TPMS sensors on them....which every trailer should absolutely have.

I also have the TPMS still no issues and carry 80PSI in the tires. Im sure if there was an issue with rubber stems I do not think my tire shop would installed them. Later RJD

Some good advice....educate yourself, take responsibility for your own safety and never rely fully on anyone else....especially a tire shop when it comes to RVs. The road is littered with horror stories of those who trusted others. Safe travels...

I put them on my Cedar Creek.
ST235/85R16 132/127 110 psi max
14 ply rating Load Range G
Max Load (single) 4400 lb at 110psi
I only keep about 98-102 psi cold in them since occasional trips through Arizona can really bump the hot inflation pressure up to extremes. Even at that, these tires have increased my fuel mileage by 10% over the stock OEM tires.

Got Sailun S637 tires mounted this week on our 2019 Sabre 30RLT. I even bought one for the spare tire. The dealer that did the work found a fist sized bubble on the back side of one of the Castle Rock tires. Aside from the distance our unit was originally towed to the dealer I’ve only put 500 miles on these. Feeling a bit better about our 3000 mile trip next month.

My question is will the wheels on my camper handle the G rated tires and the 110 psi that suggest.
|
I put G rated tires on mine after contacting the wheel manufacturer. They told me my wheels are rated up to 150 PSI IF the valve stem is also rated that high. The only stems that went up to over 80 PSI are the metal valve stems so that is what I put on too.
The tires are Gladiator Qr35 ST235/85R16 G Rated that my local trailer manufacturer (Thibs Trailers in Duson, LA) recommended. They build trailers, many for horses, etc so they carry a lot of weight. They told me they have had Zero issues with these tires.
So far so good!
