Hello All,
I am in Bellevue Washington. Have a 2012 fifth wheel and would like better tires than the Tow Max that are on it. Interested in the Sailun S637, contacted Tire Rack, told they do not sell Sailun. Any help appreciated.

Good Point

Companies can get high quality from any country of origin, if they are willing to put the effort, time and money out, rather then just looking for the cheapest source.

Back some years ago when Taiwan was a phrase for "cheap imported tools" Fine Woodworking did an in-depth article on sourcing wood working machines from Taiwan.
What they showed, was that you could get machines every bit as good from there as domestic sources, it just cost nearly as much.

When someone tells you to buy the same rig they own, listen, they might be right. When they tell you to buy a different rig then they own, really pay attention, they probably know something you don't.

NTB, Big O, and Tire Kingdom are all the same company. Any of them can order whatever you want.

From reading here (no direct experience), a trailer alignment doesn't seem to be too expensive. If you're going to have it checked, and you haven't already done so, it's also a great time to add a wet bolt kit, =especially= if you've already got worn bushings and/or spring shackles.

Discount Tire is generally the best prices and service in the area, they smoke Les Schwab. In fact I've seen the CostCo tire guy send customers to Discount telling them "It's where I go for tires we don't carry"

Discount Tire main trailer tire is Carlisle Radial Trail RH Trailer Tire, which is certain better then Tow Max.

Don't even consider going to BC, tire costs there are 50% more then here.

What size? If 16 inch you will be much better served with a decent LT tire. Or if your heavy a 17.5 inch swap is absolutely your best choice.
