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'm saying, that at one point, Sailun tires were also "nameless" since no one had ever heard of them. People took a chance and bought unknown tires and they turned out to be fine. This could prove true in this instance, albeit a bit unlikely.That may be, but a higher price is no real indication of higher quality either. The tire referred to in this thread is an excellent indication. If we go by the credo "Higher cost equals higher quality", we should be buying Goodyear G614, but, so far, the Sailun S637 is equal to or better than the Goodyear, at about half the cost. And we would never have known because no one would have bought them because they were cheap.
I'm not saying this is true in all things, but one cannot base a choice of product on only one criterion.

Your G614 vs Sailun S637 scenario has nothing to do with my point about nameless tires and wheels and quality on the ebay thread in my reply to philh.
