Sailun S-637

I have run 17.5 H rated Sailun tires for a year now. No blowouts like I had with the GoodYear bombs that were previously on the trailer. Sailun is a much better tire than the Goodyear and at a third the price.

I believe you'll find most of the 8 lug wheels are gonna be ok with the switch.

There are also a lot of 8 lug Aluminum Rims out there today that are rated at 100 psi @ 3560 lbs.

Are these Sailun tires one of the ones that are inflated to 110 PSI ?

Asking because that could mean new wheels would be needed if switching.

Thanks,

i called the place Keystone buys there wheels and tires from and had them check my wheel for any issues. They said my wheel ok to use a tire at 110psi and when the wheel is off I'll double check if there is any markings on the back of the wheel. I believe you'll find most of the 8 lug wheels are gonna be ok with the switch.

Yes sir....

Jim, didn't the AK-47 perform better in a dirty/wet/nasty environment better than our M-16's?

That's what I always heard. We only broke out out M-16's once or twice while I was in Thailand 66-67!

That's the general consensus from some that I talked to when it came to comparing the M16 with the AK47...They could also jam...casing get stuck in chamber instead of ejecting...though I never had that issue....I heard of some barrels warping during intense gunfire, but again, I heard that...never saw it...With modifications made to the rifle, it got to where the rain and mud didn't really bother it as badly as it did in the early 60's...I really liked it alot...heck of a rifle

We got our hands on some AK47's and enough of the ammo to use at various times, then we busted them up and tossed them, weren't any good without ammo....they weren't as accurate at longer distances, (I could see better back then:))....Been over 42 years since I last used one.........

On edit: If not mistaken Russians were first to manufacture the AK47, but the Chinese also manufactured them...It was the US versus, North Viet Nam, Russia and China whether anyone wants to believe it or not....

sorry to have gotten off topic...sure didn't mean to go that route...I apologize.

Back to your corner!

But the best of everything isn't necessarily the most expensive, unless you rate the quality strictly on price, which isn't always the best idea.

I agree.

I run mine at 100 psi since it strains my air compressor, and takes some time to run them up to 110 psi. And I'm only running about 12,500 lbs. on my triple axles.

They're a G rated tire, max psi is 110.

Depending on your application, they may not necessarily need to be aired to 110 psi...
