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 ...

Please feel free to hack the thread to bits and discuss all aspects of the general discussion related to two choices. At this point we are not talking about other than two choices.
One is Carlisle Radial Trail RH 235/80/16. These are product code 5151501 Max weight 3520 @ 85psi. Tire weight 38.5 pounds Load Range E, tread depth 11/32.
The other choice is an LT tire Michelin XPS rib 215/85/16 Max weight 2680 @ 80 psi. Tire weight is 49.6 pounds, tread depth 15/32. Load range E again.
These two tires are about the same diameter.
Your two choices are at completely different ends of the spectrum! One is most likely the best tire available and expensive(good for 7-8 years of service) and the other is just another ST tire which are pretty cheap (good for 3 maybe 4 years of service). There are choices if money is an issue between to two. I pointed one out in the Firestone Transforce HT! Chris
