I think I mentioned "Since 2007"

You did.....

Except my 2007 G614's BLEW at 3 1/2 yrs old
GY PAID for replacement and DAMAGES----BAD tires

Then my 2010 G614 BLEW at 2 yrs old
GY again PAID-----bad tires

They had the carcasses returned to them, inspected them BEFORE they made the decision to pay claims. THEY stated bad tires not me.

AS for the GY Tires in article........isn't the article about D thru E load range tires :H

Of course GY paid for your down time also, right?

OB - some folks are a lot like tires.

*VERY* biased!

...........'cause they know it all..:W

Interesting. Didn't notice that.

Goodyear Press Release

Looks like only D and E load ratings.

Note less aggressive tread pattern. I have long claimed that the A/S like tread on ST tires contributed to the cap getting ripped off. Chris

Actually the tread pattern of the tire in the press release looks very close to the Carlisle Trail RH, ST tires that are on my rig right now.

Really? Endurance does not have full breaks in the outer rib to grab the payment to much.

Carlisle Radial Trail RH.



Goodyear Endurance

I have not even had a flat with many thousands of miles on USMade E thru H GY tires over 12 years.

I'm so confident I'm mine that I don't have a tire monitoring system on the RV tires. How much did I save there?"

@Cummins12V98
Since I put on my Sailun's 3 years ago I quit using my TPMS as well.
I hope I didn't just jinx myself.
For the record I agree the G614 is a superior tire that can't be beat.
However there is now a worthy competitor that is producing a comparable tire at a much more reasonable price.
I concede the Goodyear maybe the better tire, however for me Sailun was the better value. I'll settle for the similar quality tire and save enough to almost buy another full set in the process.

Good post!

I am sure some think I am bashing Sailun, I am not. If GY was not available the Sailuns would be on my RV. I just stick with what works and prefer to buy US Made when possible. For the record I usually go with Michelin or BFG's for my vehicles.

I did just buy Maxxis 13" tires for my Motor Cycle trailer. Seems to be the best choice from what I have read on here.

I'm not running a TPMS on my Sailuns either and am not in the least bit worried about it! So I guess I'm saving double! :B

Trust me I'm a big supporter of buying US or Canadian made products too which is why I have run Michelins on my vehicles for years and ran BF Goodrich Commercial T/A's on my last trailer. Previous trailers had US made Goodyear Marathons on them and I had absolutely no issues with them either. But the price difference between the G614's and S637's (pretty close to double) was just too much to justify going with the G614's. If they can become more competitive for the next round I'll reconsider.

I too usually stick to what works also, and said in my previous post the G614's worked well. Yes they improved tremendously since 2007, but we still get to read the occasional failure with the G614, but not nearly what it was.

With saying the Sailuns are arguably the better tire, IMO the reviews , and yes the price bear that out . I have yet to read an issue, blowout, separation whatever with the Sailun . I'm sure there will be some as time goes on.

The Sailuns have been on the market now for several years, they really are not the new kid on the block anymore. It seems more ,and more tire dealers are carrying them.

My pocket book is just as important to me as the next guy. If can I buy a quality tire at half the price then I will.

If I tried to stick with USA made, I wouldn't own much.

I should have said since mid 2007.

As you said GY backed up their tires, you did not have an insurance claim like you would with any other tire maker.

Article mentioned IS about D and E tires. I was responding to a post talking about GY "G" tires.

Back in 2007 Goodyear was the only real choice. However in 2017 we have options. The price difference between the Sailun's and Goodyear will pay for a 2nd insurance policy.;)

You may be right.
