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.

Exactly!

The newer generation GY G's are proven to be a very trouble free tire. If there is ever a non road hazard problem they will pay for damages no questions asked.

I have towed with GY US made tires since 2005 one set E's two sets G's and now H's never even a flat and thousands of miles on each set.

I like to buy the best of everything I can and it has served me well!

No insurance? Or do you pay insurance premiums and also a high priced tire premium? I figure I have insurance to pay for damages. The money I saved buying the Sailun tires will pay the deductible, if necessary.

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.

Got my Sailun tires in today but didn't think about the valve stems. I've got the high pressure rubber ones rated at 80psi. I ordered from E-Trailer the metal ones rated at 100psi. Think there the same stems that were in my Cardinal that had G tires. These tires do look very stout.

I hope to have them on before our first trip out in our new 5er. I've got the 6 point level but I think I'm gonna use my big bottle iack to lift her up, only takes a little to get the tires off the ground.

Why would you use the "Big bottle jack" when the 6 point system is designed to lift the whole trailer? Then you can replace all 4 tires at the same time.

Spoke w/ the Sailun rep from FL yesterday and he told me that the S637 will be a new code (whatever that means) and will be avail in late April/early May. New code is 5540992 and will be made in China. I want to say too that he said they will be "ST" tires and not "LT" (235/85R16G). Will stop by my tire guru and ask them as well.

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.

What were the date codes of the GY tires? Were they "G" rated? If so why not go with "G" Sailun's?

Good question, good point...Were you running GY G614's ?? If so, what was the date code and why didn't you just go to a G rated Sailun instead of going to a 17.5" Sailun?

Inquiring minds want to know!

I think you just need to get over the fact that someone could possibly want something different then you, or quite possibly a better product then yours.You come across its my way or the highway. give it a rest. Sorry that Sailun is becoming a popular tire with actual better reviews then GY has ever had. Don't believe anyone google GY ,and read the failures, and not just from the years you seem to be stuck on.
