Sailun Tire Update

**WhittleBurner** · 07-22-2018, 03:39 PM

Before we got our Sailun's I had researched them for at least 6 months. I kept trying to find someone that had had a problem with the Sailun's. After 6 months and not finding even one bad report, I bought our's. That's been a little over a year now with no trouble. Glad we made the decision to get Sailun's.

What specific tire did you buy (as xxxRxx.5)?

Marcie & Gary most likely bought the same size as I bought Sailun ST235/80R16 G/14PR as he has the same rig as ours a 303RLS.

I think I've contributed all I can to this thread, so will be monitoring from this point forward. Please update when you find the fix or take action.

The side with the kitchen slide is usually heavier than the opposite side. Might have done thing to do with that plus there is a likelihood he is pin heavy. The first time, he blew two on the same side. Likely the front one went and the rear could not handle the sudden increase in load.

Just put five Sailun 235/85R16's on our 337. Did a 1000 mile trip through the Southeast over the last few weeks and had no issues except for a leaky valve stem so I put on the spare. I'm running them at 100 psi cold and generally run at 60-65 although we did do one 200 mile segment at 70 so we could get to the campground before the rangers left. So far I'm very pleased with them; my wife and I didn't feel any extra harshness in the ride nor was there any indication of excess bouncing in the camper after we arrived.

I am looking at replacing my 17.5 tires on my 385th 2 axle. Been looking for tires, tires that size are mainly trailer or steer tire, long haul etc... Only a hand full of them state ST tires. The Goodyears G114 or not designated at ST tires, they are basically long haul tires just like the 17.5 Sailun tires. Only a couple of 17.5 tires are marked as ST tires and do not know if I would put them on my 385. So the quest starts for what tire to put on.

I could be wrong on this one, but it seems I remember reading something about 17.5" tires having more robust sidewalls and may not need to be ST. I'll poke around my other forums and get back to you if I find it - I think it was on the Heartland forum.

Once upon a time, the factory upgrade Goodyear was the G114. I have them with thousands of miles on them. Zero issues.

I put Sailuns on my Solitude last year prior to going to the Factory Rally in Goshen and now have over 15,000 miles on them. They wear great and still have plenty of tread on them. John
