Good point, the Sailun 235/85/16 is good inch taller then then the Goodyear G614 235/85/16.

For those near a Discount Tire or America's Tire store, might give the all-steel, G-rated, Hartland 235/85/16's a look. They also make a poly sidewall/steel version, too.

The Hartland all-steel version is similar in weight (60 lbs.) and construction as the Sailun S637, load rated to 4,080 lbs. at 110 PSI, and "N" (87 mph) speed-rated. DT/AT website says it's "M" speed-rated which is incorrect.

Our local DT tire store matched the lowest online pricing I found for the Sailun S637. Got a set of 4, mounted and balanced, out the door for ~$675.

We've put 5,000 - 6,000 miles on them with no issues so far.

Look like these tire dealers are starting to compete with the online sites, like Simpletire .

Thanks JIMNLIN. Now I know.

I have been curious has the structure/integrity of the tire changed?
Is it same tire with different label/rating.
Or is it a structurally different tire.
Not sure if you or anyone else has any insight. Just curious.
My older 637 have been fantastic

Same tire.
I have six 16" LT S637 on my triaxle GN stock trailer. When I bought them they came with a ST or LT designation....both with the same Sailun part numbers.

This from a Sailun tire dealer;;

Here are some more observations on these LRG S637 tires...

Over the last 6 years or so, we have sold HUNDREDS of Sailun S637 tires in the 235/85R16G size. First the LT version, and more recently, the ST version.

Same tire, different designation.... and yes this change in designation was indeed done to beat the tariff on LT tires and keep them reasonably priced. The tire was not changed.

We have sold these tires for all kinds of trailers, Stock trailers for ranchers, Toy Haulers, RV trailers, Stacker car trailers for race cars, Open car trailers for hot shot haulers. There have been a bunch of repeat customers over the years, and for many commercial type users, this is the only tire they will buy.

My point is, if your considering the Sailun S637, do it. A year from now, you will be back on this forum telling others about how well these tires have worked for you!

One note of caution: be sure your wheels are suitable for the higher load capacity and 110 PSI pressure. This is important.

30 years in business on my own, with over 40 years of doing tires!

This seems to be a decent price shopping around. How does this compare to what some of you have paid.

Where did you get these at?

PM sent on the information.

Why a PM?

Why not share the info here so others might benefit?

We both live in Utah, and he asked. So I gave him the particulars.

Call Big O tires in Salt Lake City ,Utah . They are on 178 E S Temple 801-519-8241 Ask for Devon. he quoted me $635.00. Other BigO stores may differ in different areas .

I actually called one to see if they price match an online price, and they had no problem with that, it seemed too easy. I called another BigO, the one referenced , and just asked for a quote, and got the $635.00. Which was cheaper then the price match from the other BigO dealer. I got quotes from the low of $635.00 to the high of 898.44 for a set of four.

3 years ago I paid $685.00 or so mounted and balanced with 4 new steel valve stems. My older S637 tires are labeled LT235/85R and not ST.

Got them mounted ,and balanced today, and out the door for 635.01 all said ,and done. Thats a far cry from what I had to pay for the Goodyear G614 nearly 7 years ago.

They are ST now , and rated for 4400 lbs, instead of the 3750 they used to be. The 235/80/16 are rated for 4050 lbs.

Thats a good question, but whats it been now going on two years with the ST labeling. I thought I read somewhere that change to ST was an import thing.

I expect these to be as good or better then the LT's which were at a lesser rating. Time will tell, but we sure haven't been reading any complaints about them. Bumping the weight rating from 3750 to either 4050 or 4400 can't be a bad thing.
