Chris,
The new Jayco that I purchased has Westlake tires on it..(triple axle)..GVW of 20K...I was a bit disheartened simply because its one tire I'm not familiar with..but as you stated, tread does look very similar to a Sailun..I'll run them and hope for the best...but am looking for replacements "just in case"......
What do we know about them?...anyone with any experience towing heavy with them?
thx
Jim
Grand Design uses Westlake and on the GD forum, these tires are reported to be a mixed bag. Typical results of a Chinese made ST tire. Some have reported no issues while others have reported tread separations and blow outs causing damage to the RV. From what I have read (and I have a GD fifth wheel with the Westlakes) most will not replace with Westlakes and many are looking for an alternative.
