Sailun Tire Failure
It was bound to happen, and it did. Any experts want to weigh in? Luckily, no damage to fifth wheel or rim. 2 year old Sailun S637 , inflated to 100 psi.

Looks like the sidewall let go. Curb damage perhaps? Who knows? I sure like mine and will continue to use them.
The second failure in many years, so not too bad. Thanks for posting this.
I agree, the second one I know of, mine being one of them :B
I don't think its was a defective tire , too many miles, to many rough roads, I think a pot hole got me, they were bad in that section of road . Found a new Sailun in Kingman, good price, four month old tire . All is good .
I also will continue to use them.. Actually after hearing from a friend that runs them on his fifth wheel, and he also runs the Sailun Terramax AT's on his truck. He full times, and so far they have been great. He tows a big fifth wheel. They will be my next truck tire.
The one thing I will do is replace the tire behind the one that failed, the one that failed was the front tire drivers side. Although I ran that tire another 200 miles to Yuma, I fell like its been a bit compromised , I will make it my spare. My spare is actually too old to use, yes my bad.
I actually got pulled off the road pulled off the failed tire, unhooked the fifth wheel, loaded up the tire went to Kingman for a new one. It was a long day .
