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.

  • Looks like the sidewall let go. Curb damage perhaps? Who knows? I sure like mine and will continue to use them.

    The second failure in many years, so not too bad. Thanks for posting this.
  • It is hard to comment on this without knowing the history of the tire. Every tire Manufacturer has had blow out-- some more frequently than others. Pot holes, road hazzards, exceeding speed rating, loading, alignment and other factors can mitigate a tires life. I have Salins that replaced Goodyear G rated tires that wore out after 60K miles. So far they are performing as well as the Goodyears after 10K miles. I drive under 65mph and they are not near over-loaded with tire pressure at 105PSI. No pot hole or road hazards so far. BTY trailer suspensions are the weak point between the truck and trailer.
