tire blow out

I got them for 4 years with no problem.I like them so much I just order 2 more.

I just bought sailun 637 also. was at the rv dealer over the weekend and noticed all the new toy haulers they had came with the same tires now.

Another vote for the Sailun S637. Been running them on our trailer for 2 years now and they still look new. Had a young inexperienced driver sideswipe our trailer last week including the Sailuns on that side and no problem whatsoever with them.

I'm just leary of any ST (China made) tire. I had a failure on a travel trailer in 2nd season and checked them prior to each trip for proper pressure and never traveled over 65mph. On 5th I had failure start of 3rd season. By that time I felt like a tire expert and also added TPMS and checked every couple of hours on road for pressure and temp. and still had failure. Also learned that if one fails you can usually expect the second one on same side to fail in 100 miles so I carry 2 spares and when one fails I change both. Both failures were from belt shift (lousy manufacturing).

There's no doubt in my mind that there were a slew of lousily constructed China-made ST tires on the market several years ago. I'm still leery of ST tires, but there are at least a couple that are very good.

I had 2 ST tires blow when they were less than 2 years old and around 8,000 miles. I replaced all six tires when I got home with Sailun tires. They were rated LT when I bought them but now they are rated ST tires. Very, very happy with them.

The fact is that you just can't jump up and shout LT, because sometimes they just don't cut the mustard weight-wise.

Put the Sailun S637s on our Jayco last year before leaving for Alaska. 10,500 miles later we had no issues and the tires still look like new. Everything I read on here was positive and my tire dealer recommended the Sailuns for heavy duty trailer use.

If you have Es now and have any indication you might be too heavy then go with the G rated tires as they will give you a little cushion from possibly being overloaded. If you have the room and still need more height then go with the 85 series but make sure you can tolerate the tires being an inch closer together.

^^^Depends. Are you talking total weight on the axles? If so, maybe. If you have 12,168 lbs. exactly divided among the 4 wheels, you'll just make it. However if you have a wheel or two carrying more than exactly 1/4 of the total weight, then you'll be overweight on those tires.

It's entirely possible to have two tires carrying 3,500 lbs. and two tires carrying the remainder. That puts you overweight on two tires.

I had two Marathons blow on the same trip. I filed a claim with Goodyear and they paid for the damage to my 5er and replaced one tire. I kept both tires and they had them sent to the factory for inspection. I went with the 235-85-16 Sailuns and they have been great so far. I even had them moved to my new 5er when we traded last May.

So will the LT235/85R16 E carry 12,168 lbs.?
