Saliun S637 Tire Pressure
Dumping the Tow Max tires this week and replacing all 5 with the Saliun S637s 235/85R16 (G). My question is do you run them at the Max PSI of 110. I have a Big Horn 3260EL when loaded weights 12,6...

All thanks for all the input. Generated some interesting discussion
It appears that heartland is now dumping the TOWMAX E rated tires and going with G rated tires on all their new Bighorn and Big Country models. Some say which are the Saliuns. Is there something we do not know. To keep it simple just figured it would be easier to match the tires with the capacity of the 7000 lb axles so the tires were not the weak point. 4 ST E rated tires have a combined capacity of aprox. 13,200 lbs. which is less than the axle capacity and the 14k GVW of the trailer. Understand that part of the trailer weight is picked up by the hitch. I would rather have some over capacity then under capacity or even being close. To start weighting each individual wheel is a non-starter. Do not know of anyone that does that. Cannot be that much of a difference of the individual weight on a set of wheels and axles that are that close together if one is paying attention to how they are distributing the cargo when loading the trailer.
Will start out with 100 PSI and watch the tires closely to see how they are wearing. Getting ready to depart Missouri on 3 1/2 month (10,000 mile) tour of the entire NW. Will be our way from here thru the Dakotas and then moving west.
Bottom line the Saliuns have to be much safer than the TOWMAX.
