Sailun 637
just trying to find out how many people are running the sailun 637 st tires on their rigs on the factory rims. I am trying to find out what pressure people are running them at and if you have had any...

Let me add to this conversation, if your rv had a GVRW for 12400ish lbs and a pin weight of 2500 would you even go to a load range G tire. I decided to kick this down the road for a few years since I have replaced two tires in the last two years (one at the beginning of last season and one last week) and found a third that I suspect had separated so I took the other two in and got them done this morning. so, rolling down the road the weight on the tires should total around 10000 lbs which a good 10 ply is rated for 3500lbs @ 80psi. 70PSI will give me 3000lbs per tire. So as of right now I have 4 new Hercules Power ST2 tires so I am going to run these for the next season or two and decide exactly what I should go with for a tire. is the Sailun overkill? for this weight. I think for 3000lbs per tire from them I would be running at 65PSI

Have you weighed your axles to ensure that they are carrying what you think they are? If so, then the Sailun may be overkill. That said, they are a good heavy duty tire with very heavy sidewalls, and with your stated weights they would last a good, long time.
I certainly wouldn't run them at 65 psi if you decide to go with them, but they would probably be fine at 80 psi. You might find that your tire shop will not mount them on 80 psi wheels, however....
ya that's how I know my pin weight was 2800 lbs. not 2000 like the brochure said. going down the road the weight on the axels is about 10000lbs give or take depending how I am loaded have the new set of tires inflated to 70psi which is 3000lbs on their chart and I'll take the next 5 years to either get different rims that can handle the higher psi if that's what I decide to do, or chose a different tire that stays within the range of my rims it is only 200 bucks more to get sailun than the "good" Chinese tires (owned by cooper) I got.
I would have jumped right to the sailun but I had hand surgery yesterday and I had to have them on the 5th before I went for that. No one had sailun 637's in stock so I had to go with the Hercules power st2's this time.
