Tires

[Xflyhighx]

Does anybody run the Westlake tires that come on cedar creek champagne 38EL? I have been running on our last trailer the Sailun tires and have been very happy. Please help make my mind up. Thanks all

PS Westlake has a speed rating of 62 mph.

Here are some pictures I took of a 16” Westlake LRG tire at an RV show some time ago. There is a plant code and date of mfg. Also a speed letter “L” for a 75 MPH speed limit. It’s a regroovable tire with a 6.5” rim width requirement.

Since it’s a G rated tire it would most likely do just fine. However Speed Rating means nothing for your RV and I would not tow at 75 mph with these tires or any other. It’s a recipe for trouble. Tow at 62 to 65 and your RV and you will enjoy the trip.

X2^^!!!

X2^^. The higher load ratings in the Westlakes are OK (they come on all Grand Design RVs), but the Sailun S637s are in a different class altogether.

I couldn't agree more. Here is a good YouTube video that shows this.

I am running the g rated Westlake tires. We have several thousand on them with probably 3 thousand interstate miles at speeds of 65 to 75. I keep them at 110 psi since I run heavy. I have no plans to change until they age out.

You might check that again...speed ratings on my Westlake Tires is 75 MPH. According to eTrailer, only load range H Westlake tires have a 62 MPH rating.

I'd say that if you're buying a new rig with these tires, go ahead and ride them out for a while. They're generally regarded as a pretty decent tire.

Stick with the Sailun's !! on our 2nd set for the 5'er and going to get Sailuns when the truck needs them as well. Good Luck and Happy Camping !!

Stick with whatever gives you peace of mind.

Nowadays a max speed rating of 62 mph isn’t very good.
