Sailun Tires ?

[caysea7254]

Just got our Sailun tires on our 2015 337 RLS Refection. Question is our Westlake psi we kept at 80, do these need to be any more than that? Thanks Tara

Running more air than is needed is no big deal to me. I want the max load carrying capacity and the least amount of sidewall flex. Sidewalls flexing generates heat which kills the tire. I don't think you will ever wear a tire on a trailer out because it is over inflated. They will wear unevenly if the alignment is off or they will time out from old age. I always run my tires at max inflation. Never had a problem, just my opinion.

I agree and inflate the same way.
For those attempting to match pressure to the weight of the tires, how are you determining the load carried by each tire?

I don't know about anyone else, but I weighed mine. Seemed like the easiest way. I have the Shurline scale rated to 5,000 lbs. and weighed each wheel.

From Sailun -requet it through their website.

From the way you explain it, it doesn't make sense when you see more trailer tires time out that wear out other than alignment issues. Thanks!

I determine how much air by how they wear. If you run more than needed they will wear the centers if too little air they will wear the edges. With the solid shoulder on the Sailun's there's not much difference in wear. I just choose 95 because that still gives me more than enough capacity. I went with the larger 235/85.

I run mine at 95.

So I have to ask, are most of us over inflating our trailer tires for the loads we carry.

I have 12780 on the two trailer axles. That is 3195 lbs on average per tire. So if I inflate my 4400 tires to 110 pounds I have 38% more capacity than is required for the load. I understand having extra capacity, but 38% seems like a lot.

[Me_Again]

And here is a chart for the Sailun ST235/85R16G rated to 4400 at 110 inflation.

35>1995
40>2194
45>2382
50>2587
55>2740
60>2916
65>3078
70>3244
75>3409
80>3569
85>3719
90>3872
95>4007
100>4165
105>4312
110>4400

[Me_Again]

I built a inflation chart for the ST235/80R16G Sailun based on it having a max load of 8.8 % more than the Goodyear G614 of 4080 at 110 inflation. So here it is:
35>1850
40>2035
45>2209
50>2399
55>2540
60>2705
65>2854
70>3008
75>3161
80>3310
85>3449
90>3590
95>3716
100>3862
105>3998
110>4080

I had the dealer put mine on ,they set them at 110 right on . I have put about 4000 miles on them so far this year no issues. Run smooth and cool

Can anyone advise where one can purchase Sailum Tires? There does not seem to be any dealers in the US.

I bought mine from tire discounters.
