Sailun Tires Question
I have a 14k GVWR fifth wheel and put Maxxis M8008 tires on it back in July 2014. Things were fine till yesterday when one of them blew while I was going down the interstate (sounded like a gunshot !)...

I think if it were me I'd go with a 17.5 tire and wheel combo to get the extra capacity of the H rated tire. Then go Saluns and not worry after that.
In my opinion its not unnecessarily as the OP has to purchase new tires so why not spend a little extra to have real piece of mind. $400 each will get you new Sailuns and new rims in 17.5...19K capacity, never heard of anyone complaining of having too much extra capacity!
