Sailun Tires?

Has anyone purchased and used Sailun S637 tires? They come in sizes for 16 and 17.5" rims (and bigger). I'm planning new tires and rims this year and I'm sure my wife would like to stop hearing me say "how do your tires look?" on every other right hand corner.

Trying to operate on a budget that would NOT fit the Goodyear 614's at $320 each (plus rim puts me close to $3k). The big drawback of a triple axle with spare is 7 of everything.

Trailer is 11-12k loaded, triple axle driven on twisty mountain roads probably 15-20 weekends a year. Plenty of clearance with flipped axles and roughly 6-7" between tires so bigger diameter is OK, can't go wider than the 235 though.

If you propose something else without answering my question the tire price needs to be under or very close to $200. Not looking to start a tire war and I know what the gold standard is. And yes, I don't buy the most expensive helmets either because I do have a $300 head. :)

Thanks everyone.
  • I put them on my triple axle toyhauler 2 years ago and am very happy with them. I haven't put a lot of miles on them so I'm not a great source, but the Carlisle ST tires I had before didn't last much more than 2 years, so I'm already ahead of the game. :)

    Good looking tire with very stiff sidewalls. All in all, a very solid tire. IMO of course. FWIW they do say "For Trailer Use Only" on the sidewall.
