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.
