Nice to know that Goodyear will replace a faulty tire, but when my Carlisle tires blew I sure didn't want to replace them with more of the same, even at no cost. "Fool me once, shame on me..."

Don't forget that GY has been fairly decent about fixing damage caused by tires that come apart, which is why they cost so much more. You're buying an "insurance policy". No other mfr does this, AFAIK.

They just about have to, I'm sure you have seen what a blown tire does to a fifth wheel, and Goodyear G614's have done plenty of damage with their faulty tires

Are you saying you had problems with the Sailun tires justaford guy?

I think he is saying no problems, but the wording is a little different. If he has had problems, this will be the first I have read about a problem with Sailun's

The above was the FIRST problem with a GY tires for me. I am not complaining as that has been MANY thousands of miles and not even a flat since 2005.

I have mentioned before a tire monitoring system for these H GY tires is a waste IMHO because they don't pop they just loose part or all of the center tread.

I had just checked temps 20 min prior while fueling. All 4 tires were very close in temp.

Maybe Sailun will come out with some H rated tires , and you can replace all those Goodyears :B

And yet you had problems, but I see you are not pushing them as hard as you used too, is it because you can no longer claim how great these overpriced Goodyear tires are ?

I know we have been over this Sailun tire think a few times, but they proved the past several years now to be the MUCH better tire then Goodyear has ever been, and a MUCH more reasonable price.

I know you argue Goodyear being US made , and the Sailun being made in China, but thats a feeble argument these days with all the foreign products, and even your beloved Ram truck being made in Mexico.

Two big things about Sailun over Goodyear. #1 is they don't have a history of blowouts doing thousands of dollars worth of damage to an RV ,and sitting on the side of the road getting a tire changed , that in itself is enough reason alone to stay away from Goodyear. #2 is the price ,and the much better tire in the Sailun, being about half the cost.

I don't need to buy more insurance, and thats what you are paying for with Goodyear. I have enough insurance to cover tire damage if it occurs.

I've had the Sailun for a few years now and no problems at all.
