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.

"I wonder if this isn't a major CYA from Goodyear after those bad years with some of their tires."
Give GY Tech a call and tell them you are going from load range "E" that is at it's carrying capacity. Then tell them you are going to a "G" tire. Then ask them what tire pressure should you run.
They will tell you to use the chart based on the heaviest tire on each axle and add 5psi to the chart pressure.
I did this in 2010 when going from GY "E" to GY "G" tires. I ran the "G" tires at 85psi for thousands of miles with perfect tread wear. optimal braking and ride.
I have NEVER had a flat or blow out using GY US Made "E", "G" or "H" tire. I did loose some of the center section of my GY "H" tire, they replaced it.
On every tire I based psi on LOAD.
