What I know is I've had two 5th wheels in the last eight years running Michelin truck tires, traveling all over the US in the heat of summer and have yet to have a tire issue. I don't baby my tires and I don't run them at max pressure. My current Michelins are five years old and are wearing fine. So called tire experts can talk about shear and degrees and such but I'll talk from actual tire usage and the 100% reliability of my truck tires. Truck tires are tough and can take the abuse, Chinese trailer tires can't.
My Sailun ST tires, and almost every other one I've read about have lasted with no issues. Chinese-made and an ST tire, but an excellent tire that I would buy again in a heartbeat.
Don't forget, though, that the Sailuns =originally= were imported as truck tires, but they decided to rebrand them as ST tires to avoid higher import tariffs. They are, for all intents, the exact same tire that was labeled for truck usage 5-6 years ago. I've had this from several different tire/truck dealers, when asked about them.
