Sailun tires versus Michelin
I have to make a choice here, and both seem like huge overkill, but I am looking for opinions. Sailun tires are S637 235/85/16 They carry a lot more, 3750 at 110 psi compared to Michelin LT XPS ...

I changed from GY Wrangler US Made "E" to GY "G" the rims were 80psi rated. I ran the tires at 85 psi per GY Tech support. My load had the "E" tires maxed out required 80 psi for the load. GY says when up sizing use the charts based on load then add 5psi. The GY G's wore perfectly at that load and 85psi with many thousands of miles. Not worth sweating the extra 5psi on the rims!
Anyone going from E to G's and the load only requires 80psi and you run 110 you are going to have un unsafe, rough ride. Yes unsafe because the tread contact patch for braking will be reduced by over inflating the tires. Just ask GY.
