Not everyone agrees that you have to run the "G" rated tire at 110 psi. I run my Sailun S637 tires at 90-95 psi with no ill effects so far. Granted it has only been 4 years and about 25,000 miles. The choices for high quality "E" rated ST tires is not that great IMO.
Yep...Sailun will provide you with a load chart. 110psig is max pressure for max load.- Not everyone agrees that you have to run the "G" rated tire at 110 psi.

- Samson light truck tire name has been around for years mostly small town tire stores/farm and ranch stores/grain elevator stores/etc.
Did a quick google and saw them mentioned with good results on RV and haulers websites for folks pulling heavy trailers.
However replacing a ST E at 80 psi with a ST G at 110 psi may not always be the best idea.
In some cases a better ST E tire brand may be a better idea. Dannyabear1 wrote:
Aren't they chinese too? Goodyear G614 or Sailun S637 is the way to go
I went with the sailuns and couldn't be happier. Yes they are made in china but they are great tires. Holding up far better than the Trailer Kings that came on it.- I run Samson on my motorhome and like them. As for Goodyear and Sailun. THEY PRODUCE tires in China.
It is not where a tire is produced it is the oversight of the parent company that makes the difference - Cheaper isn't always better.
Depending on weight and how many axles.
That is what you should base your tire needs on.
Also, if you go to a G rated tire, you have to get wheels rated high enough. - I have over 10000 miles and three years + on mine with no problems. Ride good, run straight, but your experience may vary. I would not hesitate to replace with same.
They are considerably cheaper than other options which is why dealers like them. - Sounds like jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire.
