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.

You won't see American made tires that are two years old with the sidewalls blowing out.
And
Chinese tires are junk.
These type comments aren't made from anyone that has been around the industry using LDT pulling heavy GN/pintle trailers....or even pulled several heavy rv trailer for many years or miles.
Facts are Some of the better P/ST/LT tires on the road are made in china.
Lots of newbs to the trailering world come on a rv website and read about all the issues with chine made ST tires we were having especially some years back...then assume all china made tires are junk.:R
With over 1.2 million miles hauling LTL with LDT and these type tires and trailer sizes I and others have had the same issues pop up with all USA brand tires....rare but this can show up running that many miles. I personally have had more issues with Goodyear P...LT...ST tires but I'm not ignorant to say Goodyear makes junk tires.

Yeah the American made G614 load G have the worst record of the G tire lineup although to their credit Goodyear has worked hard at making it a more durable tire and they have improved the last several years.
Other USA made 16" G load tires recommended for trailer service....haven't heard of any. There are several off shore made 16" G tires carrying old USA brand names like Gladiators......Hercules....others....which around here were mostly sold around small town stores...feed stores...grain elevators. Farm and ranch operations which also catered to construction types.
Maybe the OP can shed more light ??
