Oh... and by the way the Goodyear G614 RST is rated at 75 mph on their web just like the Sailun S637 LT G.
The Sailun S637 are actually more popular with haulers because of cost issues and the G614 past performance issues and the S637 is a all position tire for truck or trailer unlike the G614.
I bought one Sailun tire the same size as my four Goodyear 614's (235/85R16)for use as a mounted spare on a pending trip this summer. Even though logic tells me I am wrong, I squirmed under the RV and measured the circumference of my mounted Goodyear and I got 103.25" I then measured the mounted Sailun and found it to be 99.75". Now this seems to me to be a great difference. The tire store (Big O) guy, has not gotten back to me from his superiors as to why this might be. I could understand 1/2" or so difference as a mistake, but 3 1/2" is a lot. Any thoughts from the tire experts out there?
