I think the US site has the old Lt235/85R16G's which is phasing out.
Canadian is the new ST's, and the 80 series may not be in the pipeline yet.. Chris
Well here is one for the tire expert, have no idea about phasing out , but here is something to ponder about the Sailun Tire. This is all according to this mornings chat with Simple Tire
Sailun S637 Regional trailer 235/85R-16 part # 8244393 179.99 per tire
Sailun S637 Regional trailer 235/85R-16 part # 5540992 130.99 per tire
According to Simple Tire, there are two different manufacturers listed as Sailun tires, when in fact one is Telstar, the other Sailun. The cheaper of the two ,again according to Simple Tire , is Sailun, the more expensive is Telstar.
They both are sharing manufacturing rights for this product. So it appears we have a Sailun tire out there manufactured by two different companies or manufacturers .
From what I've researched Telstar is a supplier not a manufacturer. Think you were mislead unless you have more info.
The Sailun brand is marketed and distributed by TBC Wholesale in the U.S.A. and Mexico.
"Since we launched in 1970, Telstar Tire has been supplying tires for virtually every need on or off the road."
As said just quoting what Simple Tire had to say, and I quote :" One manufactured by Telstar ,and the other is by Saliun . They are both sharing manufacturing rights for this product ". Simple tires quote, not mine, if they are wrong so be it.
What is not clear is why the price difference if it is in fact the same tire on the same website, Simple Tire. The price difference is $49.00 per tire. One does say Telstar Saliun S637 and the other just Saliun S637. Both are 235/85R-16 one is listed as an ST, and one is not. Could be they are clearing out the ones without the ST .Would have to look again to see if the one not listed as an ST is the cheaper of the two ,that might explain the cheaper price.
Simple tire has no listing as of yet for the 235/80R-16 that I could find. If in fact they are phasing out the 85 for the 80.
