Sailun S-637
So I want to get these E rated tires off my new Mountaineer and go with a G rated tire. I had the G-614's on my last 5er but these Sailun tires are getting some good talk... What's up with these tires...

Here in CNY the GY G614's are $325.00 - $350.00. Sailun's S637 online.....$155.00. Set of 4 GY = $1300.00. Set of 4 Sailun's = $600.00. Could buy 2 extra Sailuns and have for spares!!!
Just to keep the numbers in perspective, damages to our previous 5th wheel from the last tire failure I had in 2007 > $2500. That makes it much easier for me to pay for the best tires I can put under our RV.

And AFATG there's no data in yet that says the Goodyear tires are any better than the Sailun tires. In fact, quite the contrary.
We can disagree on the quality of each tire all day and it is good we have choices. I would rather not file an insurance claim for RV damage in the thousands and have my rates go up.
You seem to keep mixing up Sailun with Goodyear, true there have been many thousands of dollars worth of claims with Goodyear, who would not want some guarantee for repaired damages . I personally would rather go with a tire that does not have the track record Goodyear has. Sailun has too good of track record to ignore . As you say its good we have choices, there was a time not long ago that basically Goodyear was the only game in town for a G rated or higher tire. Thankfully there is a tire out that is giving these overpriced Goodyears a run for their money.
