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.

Oh lordy now you sound like the bird. A XPS Rib bash and he should be here quick.
Anyways as most folks knows Michelin does indeed offer applicable warranties on the Ribs for trailer service. Hell they still recommend them for commercial trailer service as in their older adds.
I don't mean to sound like I'm bashing the XPS/Rib. In fact I ran them for many years. My point was that if you ask Michelin (as I have done several times) if Michelin will warranty the XPS/Rib when used in a trailer application. The answer I always get is the XPS/Rib is an LT tire and not suited for trailer use - Michelin will not warranty the XPS/Rib when used on a trailer.
Now your experience may be different. And I know for certain that many thousands of folks use the XPS/Rib on trailers.
I just wish Michelin would come out with an XPS/Rib that they would warranty for trailer use.
Again, I am not bashing Michelin XPS/Rib.
