Settle a "tires" issue

I don't think I want to turn or back in someplace with LT tires on my toy hauler and take the chance of rolling one off the rim because of the more flexible sidewalls of LT vs ST tires

LOL...good one.
We don't find this to be true our here in the commercial trailer world using 6k and 7k axles. Guess some how its different for your rv trailer. However the highest rated 16" LT tire is the all steel ply carcass commercial grade Goodyear G614 RST in a LT235/85-16 G at 3750 lbs for 6k-7k axles.

Here are some more observations on these LRG S637 tires...

Over the last 6 years or so, we have sold HUNDREDS of Sailun S637 tires in the 235/85R16G size. First the LT version, and more recently, the ST version.

Same tire, different designation.... and yes this change in designation was indeed done to beat the tariff on LT tires and keep them reasonably priced. The tire was not changed.

We have sold these tires for all kinds of trailers, Stock trailers for ranchers, Toy Haulers, RV trailers, Stacker car trailers for race cars, Open car trailers for hot shot haulers. There have been a bunch of repeat customers over the years, and for many commercial type users, this is the only tire they will buy.

My point is, if your considering the Sailun S637, do it. A year from now, you will be back on this forum telling others about how well these tires have worked for you!

One note of caution: be sure your wheels are suitable for the higher load capacity and 110 PSI pressure. This is important.

30 years in business on my own, with over 40 years of doing tires! **

Now you can worry about rolling those soft sided tires off the rims :R

You justify your reasons for running what you want to run and I'll justify the reason for running what I want to run. I'm sure on a commercial trailer with dual wheels/axles there isn't as much stress on the tires/wheels when turning because of having a second tire close helping carry the weight as there is on a tri axle setup with single wheels/tires. My personal opinion is I don't want LT tires on my trailer and I gave my reason, you don't have to agree nor do you have to approve. Not trying to be mean or crappy but just expressing my opinion. My trailer also has the Sailun S637. If a person runs a good quality ST tire in my opinion there is no need to run LT tires. End of story!
