Sailun S637 or Goodyear G614

Boy do we get off track some time. After experiencing a blowout 2 days ago with my 2 year old OEM E rated Towmaster ST tires I am looking to buy new tires tomorrow.
For the record I had very little faith in the the tow masters from day one, but I figured I try to get a few miles out of them vs. getting new tires right away.

Luckily the blowout did not result in any damage to the 5'er.

My choices are the Sailun 637, GY14 or going to a 17.5 rim.

I've sort of shy'd away from the Duravis, or Michelin ribs, I want more capacity than a 3042 E rated tire. I agree that each tire carries a different weight. A 6000 pound axle does not equally place 3K on each tire.
I also think my blowout was caused by poor road conditions. You know the stretch of road that you feel every joint as you bounce and pound down the highway!
If I never encountered a that rough stretch of highway I do not think I would have had a blowout, but truth is poor roads are a fact of life. I ned a tire that can withstand the pounding of poor roads.

In the end I think 17.5 rims are the most foolproof approach, however the Sailun or GY should be adequate as well. What to do?
Price and availability maybe the deciding factor.
Actual purchase and use experience would be helpful vs. a lot of theoretical rhetoric.

I was in a similar situation as you a few months ago. I no longer wanted ST LR E tires on my RV. I was down to 3 choices, G614, Sailun or 17.5". After my research which included pricing scenarios I decided to save a bunch of coin and go with the Sailun. Under $200 mounted/balanced per tire put me significantly cheaper than the other 2 options. I have around 4k miles on them now and they have performed beautifully. There are a few others on this site that have more miles than me on them and I think they all like them. Not sure where you live, but the Sailun tires are very easy to source in the southeast US. Any tire dealer that gets tires from the distributor Caroll Tire can get them. They are sold under the Multi-Mile and Power King brand lines.

A lot of people are acting like the Sailun tires came to the market last month. They have been around for quite some time, so no need to have others "test" them for you. If you have any specific questions about them that I can answer just let me know.
