I have always run LT, these are 6 years old, some of the new ST's look good, specifically looking at the Sailun 14 ply but need to check the wheel for max psi. I think some here have gone with the Sailuns. Any way I'm looking for a replacement fender after a tire started to come apart, only damage is the cracked fender. I have looked at ICON but looking under KZ I don't see the correct fender. Anyone else replaced a fender? Where did you find it? Part number?

Might have to dismount a tire to find the rating; sometimes it's in the valley. Don't forget that the Sailuns =started= out as truck tires, but the import duties made them re-label the tire to ST to get around that. I've read several posts around the Net where people have used them as truck tires, though NOT at 110 psi. :-) Personally, unless you need the capacity, why not stick with LTs? Have you tried contacting KZ to see what fender =they= use? Lyle |

I can use the extra capacity, I'm at 14K with two 8K axles. I have been running Yokohama Geolandar with 3042lb load rating so I was over loaded. I contacted KZ who referred me to the wheel manufacture Hi Spec. I was able to send a picture and below was their official response in under an hour, the valve stems have to be changed to full metal. The Sailums are 4080lbs each so I'll have a bit of spare. Still looking at getting a fender for the cracked one.
The wheel you have is a LW66865GMLM. Which will be fine to upgrade the tire to an LRG the one thing that you will have to do in the upgrade is make sure that the valve stem is changed to a TR416 valve stem (See attached picture), the valve stem you currently have is only rated for 80psi.

I'd be willing to bet that your Geolanders are pretty darn safe upwards of 3,800 lbs and still have some "reserve". What's your pin weight? Remember, that is not carried by your tires. Still, going with the Sailuns is a safe bet, especially since you need new tires anyway. I remember going up to Es on my old Komfort and felt that it towed better. If I was running my "normal" load, I'd run 70 psi, but it I was towing heavy, I'd run the full 80 psi, even though I was placarded for Ds. My KZ is placarded for Ds, it's only 10.5k GWV, so I'm wondering if I really need to go to Es. I =have= considered going to 16" wheels and running LT Es, though. Something like the Duravis.

Dry is 2130 and just shy of 2400 last weight, I need to reweigh, I have a much heaver mattress. The wheels will take the 110psi, I'll likely start under max 90-95 ans watch wear. I like the Goelanders and have them on my truck but spear Michelins mounted, I could not turn them down, $600 about 1000 miles off a 2020 F350. Guy with way too much money, multi businesses, ran them until he could jack the truck up & get bigger tires & rims. The rims are worth about twice that and so are the tires, be the first time I have rum Michelins. They will bolt right on my F350 so I bought and stored.

My brother's '05 F350 takes some oddball tire that Ford only used for a couple years. Very hard to find and very expensive. I told him a long time ago to simply change wheels but he wouldn't do it. Oh, well... Little bro's, y'know? :-) Lyle |

Mine came with 20" rims, I looked and they are an option, all my other F250/F350's have had 18". The 20's on the 4x4 makes it almost too tall to tow, I only get 5" bed rail clearance so I have to watch slopes and uneven ground.

Finally found the correct Fender for my KZ, ICON Palomino Tandem Fender Skirt FS4771 (14921 for black). Hope this might cut the time for someone else.
I sprung for the Sailun 637, about 100 miles so far in 40mph winds, tracked well. I'll revisit the tire when I get a lot more miles.

My son put G rated Sailuns on his Montana and has been very happy with them. He did say that he also only runs them at 90-95 lbs rather than the full 110. His truck and mine are almost identical but like your F350, his Ram came with 20s while mine has 18s. He went to an inch smaller diameter tire because his too was almost too tall. Great find on the Michelins! I have run them in the past and they're good tires, just really expensive.

My F350 came with 20inch Michelins, 51K miles in and still 8/32nds of tread wear left.
