Last Saturday I experienced my first blowout on I-5 north about a half hour from home (Tigard Or, SW of P-town), left last week for Vegas and stopped over in Sparks both days in transit and of course it was on the highway side.
I have Carlisle tires now and I read through this thread and others and I hear American made vs let's say China (which I didn't know I had) are recommended so today I did a query on the best RV tires and I see a list of 10 brands and Sailun is not on it, could it just be paid advertisers taking up the top ten?

Any way the tire in front of the blown one is all warped up so looking for a new set, looks like for the Sailun brand one would have to have them shipped in and then deal with a local shop for the mounting/balancing and of course disposal.
The rig is 8350#'s dry and the tire size is ST225/75R15 with max load of 2830lbs at 80#'s.
I have not called the local tire shops yet but I sounds like I want a G rating with 110#'s for basic requirements? I also get confused with the LT ST ratings but I do want to base this on quality first and economics a close second. I have E rated now and not sure if I should bump it up.
Still it was odd this brand was not listed in the top ten...

Keep reading. No one makes 15" LRG tire, as there is no requirement, rim or axles for them. I installed GY Endurance ST225/75R15E's on our new 8K Laredo and never looked back.
