The only problem with Sailun tires is they are steel belted. In tire TPMS monitors don't work well because the signal is attenuated more than a non-steel belted tire. This could be a problem for trailers, but not a TV.
Sailun has proven to be a good tire and is rated well-- Also they are ISO certified. Therefore one can not go wrong with them. They do cost less than GoodYear. That is because Goodyear will pay for blow out damage on a trailer and Sailun will not. Goodyear prices in an insurance policy.

Unless you can cite specific instances where Sailun didn't cover blowout damage caused by their tire, you shouldn't write that as fact.

Part of the problem is that there are so few Sailun tire failures, there's not many data points to work with.

I recall several people stating here when Sailuns first hit the market, that they specifically asked their tire dealer if Sailun would cover damages from a defective tire and all were told "no". So far, I've not heard of a single instance where there was a failure, where Sailun covered any damages. I do agree that they've proven so d@mn good that there's simply not a lot of data on failures. :B I know that I'd certainly look at them if I had a truly heavy FW. I'd also look at Providers, which we have 6 of on our 30' GN flatbed.
