I’ve been looking at the Sailuns and the great reviews. I have friends that run them and swear by them. Just need to know if I can run them on my current wheels. Running a 31’ Terry with two slides with 235/80/16 on 16x6 steel wheels stamped 3750 lbs.
Can I run the Sailuns on those wheels or no?
Great tire if your trailer has 7k-8k axles. I have 6 of them on a triaxle GN stock trailer with 7k axles. One Sailun S637 website said a 6"-7" wheel preference while most say a 6.5". I go by the tires tread for a load carrying wheel. A 3750 lb rated wheel is usually a load E at 80 psi max. Your wheel maker can tell you all those specs.
For 5.2k and 6k axles a commercial grade all steel ply tires like Bridgestone R-250 or the new R-238 LT E at 3042 lbs is all the tire one could ever want.
For 16" ST E tire users the top performing ST class tires are the Providers. Their the new gen higher speed rating and made their rep in the commercial trailer field since the '10-'11 era, before rv folks started using them.
