Recent blowout - the good and the bad
So, had a blowout last week, first trip with the new fiver. Forth blowout in almost 30 yrs towing. Anyway, a few thoughts. The Bad: 1. Clearly the tire failure 2. Limited shoulder, stopped on...

Tire failure due to what? No TPMS? What is an automatic stop?
Why do people ask why a ST tire failed? Failure is integrated in their design and use on large 5th wheels.
Huh !!!!!! :h Thats a pretty broad stroke you are painting. How do you account for the Sailun ST tires the S637's stellar reputation for durability, and lack of failures, if failure is integrated in their design.
There are lots of "New Name" ST tires that "pop up" (pun?) and deserve the bad rep that many ST tires have had for years.
BTW - that 'bad rep' even included GY ST Marathons Made in the USA, then China.
However, LOTS of good reports on Sailun - try a search on "Sailun Tires", be sure to spell "Sailun" correctly!
Not sure if this involved the Sailun S637...
Sailun changed the designation from LT -to- ST to avoid the import tariff on LTs. Same tire, same specs...:W
BTW - China is very capable of manufacturing quality tires. Just depends on what the buyer (ultimate distributor/retailer) wants.
YOU can be a tire distributor too! Got the bucks? - The Chinese will be happy to manufacture the "Me Again" brand, and ship cargo containers (to the US, or?) chock full of them..:S
