Sailun Tires

Just received my new 235/85r16 Sailun S637 tires from Walmart.
The manufacture date on all 4 tires is 3121, which is August of this year. That's a good thing!
The concern I have is the plant they came from..... Vietnam.
With the latest chatter about failures, I'm a little nervous.
Anyone have any new info on the issues? I can return them to any Walmart store until January so I may hold off on having them mounted until I can get more information on the actual problem that may or may not exist.
  • The problem does indeed exist. Several people on the Grand Design forum have had several Vietnam Sailun tire, manufactured winter/early spring, this year, with tread separation. Not good news. There have been a few cases, but I've not read of any recently. But that could be because the traveling season is winding down. Personally we won't be traveling much until next year, and if it were me, I'd wait for a few months and see how things shake out. Just depends on how badly you need new tahrs.
