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
NC it's time to join the Sailun family. Open Range is now using Westlakes as well.
Results on the OR forum are not too impressive. Some success but still too many blowouts for my liking.
I've come to believe loaded weight is tyhe real differnce between success and failure. If you travel light and have lots of margin between actual weight and rated weight you maybe OK.
But if ST tires are carrying their full rated weight with little margin,a blow out is likely.
