Upgraded to sailun s637 Tires, huge difference from towmaxes
I just wanted to post my upgrade experience, I had the OEM towmax tires on my 2012 Avalanche 320rk, they were manufactured in 2011, but had less than 1500 miles on them.
After reading all the stories and seeing all of the pictures of the blowout damage, I didnt want to risk it any more so I made the investment in the Sailun s637.
I had the tire shop unmount one of the towmaxes so I could compare it side by side to the Towmax and there is a huge difference in their physical construction. The sidewalls in the s637 are way stiffer, and there is a big difference in weight Im guessing ~25lbs heavier.
I bought them from http://www.trailertiresandwheels.com/ and I was very pleased with their price and service. I would recommend them to anyone. They were able to fit me in same day and also cut me a deal on a set of 4. Ask for Michael and tell him Colin from Michigan Sent you.
Something I immediately noticed is that the s637 stand up straighter when on the ground, maybe its because of the higher pressure but I can see the sidewalls dont have nearly as much curve in them when rolling down the highway.
Time will tell, but I believe this is going to be a good investment, it sure is nice to have the peace of mind of having a heavy duty tire and not worrying as much about the possibility of blowouts.
