Found this at NHTSA site, looks like Sailun has recognized its problem:NHTSA Recall No. 21T018"Sailun Tire Americas, Inc. (Sailun) is recalling certain Sailun, RoadX, Blacklion, Blackhawk, and Ironhead brand tires, sizes ST235/80R16 and ST235/85R16 with DOT codes 2020 through 4120. Due to a manufacturing issue, the tires may experience a belt separation. Belt separation could lead to loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Sailun will replace the tires, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed in December 2021. Owners may contact Sailun customer service at 1-844-281-9696."

Very interesting. Hopefully the issue was addressed and the tires are back to being about the best you can get.

I believe these tires were the best you can get because they were new and not many were on the road…fewer issues.

Hopefully they have identified an actual manufacturing issue and not just a period of time with problems. Thanks for the info.

Heck they were even coming as OEM on some trailers. Lots of people have had them in the ten years they've been popular, and the failures are basically non-existent.

Agree; I've had mine for almost 7 years now and they still look like new. There will be another set going on when these ones are done in another year or two.

Is this on a truck or trailer? If truck how many miles are on them. I need a new set for my truck next year and I will not be suckered into Michelins like last time. And my tires never go off road.

They're S637's on my fiver. Sailun does make some decent looking truck tires, though.

I’ll take a look at those Sailun truck tires when the time comes , a friend ran a set , liked them , but traded trucks before they wore out , so don’t have a real picture of them .
