My thought is "At least I kept my money in my pocket". :)

And most of it went to China.....

After reading all of the praise and glory for Sailun tires and the 5 years of goos service from my Hankook G rated F19 Maxivantage. I decided to go with the Goodyear G614 235/85R16 tires for our 3 axle trailer.

Shopped them hard and found I could get them for $270 a tire plus installation, etc. Found a couple of tire dealers that would not sell a Sailun as they had trouble with them.

Got the same song , and dance with a couple tire dealers in Kingman, Az , but that’s usually the game , they were pushing the Hercules brand G rated tire .

Keeping your $$$$ in America, wonder what the story will be when the Saliun is manufactured in the US, I suppose they will be a great tire then :R

Does anyone know how many GY "G" and Sailun "G" tires are sold?

The rep mentioned to me, and he may correct me, but I’m pretty sure he said 150,000 of the S-637’s in 2018 .

Not a clue, but it would be interesting to compare. And even compare the numbers over the last few years to see if Sailun is making inroads on GoodYear.

It.s as good as customers will tolerate and are willing to accept.

LOL yeah you make a good point. In fact we have a thread going right now on a member wanting to by cheap priced wheels and tires on ebay with no brand names....just a cheap price.

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.
