Sailuns retired with honor and you chose a different brand this time around?
If it ain't broke don't fix it.

I'd have to agree. You switch from a tire with few known failures to a brand that has innumerable failures. Granted the new tires are supposed to be much better, but still why go from known good to possibly good?

No different than the guys having 6 trouble free years from GY's and replacing them because they are too expensive.

Not really. The Goodyears have had issues and are more expensive than the Sailun, which have had far fewer issues than the Goodyear. So you're going from a known decemt product to a known excellent product, and saving a boatload of money. Going from Sailun, a known good product, to a new style Carlisle, which has had serious problems in the past with its old designs, and is still a relatively unknown product.

Full disclosure: I had 2 Carlisle tires fail catastrophically at less than 2 years old and less than 8,000 miles.
