I stand corrected. They are made in Wichita according to an e-mail from Goodyear. I received some misinformation at a recent Rally I attended. Was told there was not a single trailer tire made in the US.dbbls wrote:
Even the Goodyear G614's are made in China. Goodyear owns the plant but it is in China with Chinese workers.
No, unless China annexed Kansas. The G614 is manufactured in their plant in Witchita, KS.
shows how much can be learned at some of these Rally's.....All one had to do was look at the sidewall, take information and "google it" and would find that they are manufactured in Kansas from information found on the sidewall...
.....and what's even funnier, at the front of their tire size, it states, LTXXX XX XX, not STXXX XX XX, BUT they are GY G614 "RST's"....just saying.........thomasmnile wrote:

Maybe in a coupe years there will be a load range G XPS RIB or R250!
If the chinese can do it, why not the French or Japanese?
Also remember that the Sailun is just a standard LT tire and according to you know who would be bad choice, being re-grovable and re-treadable and has to deep of tread and built similar to the two tires above. He will never endorse use of this tire on a trailer, most likely starting another campaign against it. Chris
Sailun is far from a LT tire as the 2 above! The LTs are rated at 3045# per tire way under what My 5er requirements. Sailun is rated at 3750# per. Other than diameter 30.7" for GYs to 31.7" 637s their specs. are the same.

Look here S637 info 56 and 63 lbs for the 2 different 17.5 tires. Can't answer the other question.
The 16 inch tires are 61lbs for those of you wondering.
Thanks for the info BC:)jimmyfred wrote:
