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 ...

goodyear g614s....don't waste your time with other tires.
I have been a LOYAL Michelin customer for most of my vehicles but last year I had all six of my michelin LT235-80R17 truck tires starting to dry-rot after less than six months and I had to fight like hell to get them to cover 70% of the cost! I'll never own another Michelin product again! Last winter I put G614's on my fiver and they have been great, I see a real change in the ride and braking also after two trips to Florida they still look new also if it fails Goodyear cover's the repair, do yourself a favor and get these tires!

A G rated tire for a D weight rated tire application???? . You're talking about a Michelin truck tire, which I've had on various trucks and never an issue, but we're talking Michelin RIBS for a 5er....haven't heard very many bad things about RIBS on a 5er..
OP doesn't have to go with RIBS', he can save even more money, go with the Duravis R250, and still upgrade from a D to an E rated tire.
GY G 614's are very expensive and really, really quite a bit of overkill....I have them on my 5er with 7,000# rated axles and a GVW of 16,950#...OP's 5er has a GVW of 9390#..BIG difference.
