Another tire post
My 2015 Keystone Raptor came with Trailer King 235/80/R16 tires. I was skeptical but figured I'd run them till one failed and then replace them. At about 5100 miles on a 1800 round trip in June they all failed. Fortunately they didn't blow out, they just started bubbling on the sidewalls. I put on the spare and bought a Tow Max to replace the worse one. The other two failed on the return trip but I took it easy and they got me home.
After a lot of research I decided to try Sailun 235/80/R16 S637 tires. These are 14 ply tires. My dealer didn't have them in stock and were on back order from his distributor. He did have ST 235/85/R16 in stock which is slightly less than an inch taller. They were on sale for 169 so I got 4 mounted up and installed. Same specification, 4080 lb rating at 110 psi. The sidewalls on these tires are very heavy whereas on my old tires you could literally smash an unmounted tire flat. No way could I do this with the Sailuns. They are also significantly heavier. Another bonus id these tires are rated at 75MPH.
We'll take an 800 mile round trip next week and I'll get to see how they ride.
