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'll tell you that I was super happy that GY decided to build the Endurance tire in the US. And I'm even more pleased that it seems to be doing very well. My only problem with the Endurance - and I know this is really my problem - is that I'm mad at GY for making the Marathon tire for so many years even when they knew it was a crappy tire.
The Marathons were made in the USA and were a reasonably good tire, then production was moved to China where they made junk. Next, Goodyear moved it back to the USA till they made changes in production in China. Then back to China where junk again was produced.
All this talk about quality control is just that, talk. Folks that never worked on the factory floor have no clue about what goes on. To make a quality product it takes workers that care about what they do and that is the root of the problems in some countries. Yes, I have dealt with ISO9001 and all those programs of the month and know that many have no value, just feel good stuff to entertain those that never touch the product.
