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

I'm running mine at around 105 psi too, mostly because my little compressor won't go any higher. My experience is similar; great handling, good ride, running cool, and wearing evenly and very slowly! :B

Load and inflation chart published by Sailun plus ideally the weights of the individual trailer wheel positions allows a real world starting point for reduced by load inflation level. Trailers usually need 5 to 10 psi above the table.

Big O tires carry them here in Utah. Simpletire online carries them. I got a price match from a local tire dealer here in Utah other then Big O. Can't imagine any major tire dealer not being able to get them.

Seems like a lot of work to me. I'd talk to the tire manufacturer before I'd take someone elses word.

I am assuming that yours, like mine, are probably the 235/80 (or 85) -16 G rated tires. If so, the maximum pressure is 110 psi. I am running my new Sailuns at 105 psi. The problem with going way under the maximum pressure is the sidewall deflection when you are backing up sharply. I am also assuming you checked your wheels to make sure they are rated at 110 psi. Good luck.

Per the trailer experts (they build and repair BIG trailers) who installed the tires and going by my most recent weight ticket, I was instructed to run the G-rated Sailuns on my 337 at 105 PSI. That's what we've been doing for 10K miles. The wear is even, the TPMS says they run cool, and the rig handles very well.

kzspree320 yes they are the same tire as yours. And yes we talked to Grand Design and yes the wheels are rated for 110. We assumed since psi was 110, that we should have them around 95 . We have no idea about tire weight. Thanks to all of you for your info. WE appreciate it! Tara

Gotta know weight loading on the tire. Then adjust pressures accordingly.

That sounds good in theory, however does that mean you are weighing each tire individually?

Air to max pressure 110 PSI. I want maximum capability. I'm not trying to dial in the pressure to the weight. I think that's a problematic approach.

[fj12ryder]

What amount of weight is on the tires? That will help determine what pressure to run them at. I only have about 2500 lbs. on each tire and run around 90-95 psi. Some folks run lower, but I would feel uncomfortable running under 90 psi. But that's just me.
