Jim, one of the interesting questions to be asked is, are there manufacturers that have started using the Sailun OEM on 7k axles? Does either Tredit or Tireco have this tire in its stable. Here is part of the answer!

On the left hand side of the picture it is branded "For Trailer Service Only"! That may indicate that is did not under go the same DOT testing that a normal LT tire does.

Honestly I have no problem with that designation because we are discussing trailer tires. I like the fact that it is designed specifically for trailer use. I imagine it has stiffer sidewalls than a true LT tire.
Sailun is making a heavy duty commercial grade specific product.They are not trying to build a general use LT Tire like an XPS RIB, Duravis or Commercial T/A.
It appears to me that Sailun is making just what the Doctor ordered for our heavier trailers
