Sailuns or Goodyear endurance
I知 new to the forum, so first I want to say hi. Second, I have a 2019 reflection 311BHS with Westlake tires. I知 looking at upgrading the tires to either the Goodyear endurance or the Sailuns. I have read multiple threads, but I知 looking for opinions from people who have each tire and/or experiences with both tires. Which ever tire I choose, I will be installing Fords TPMS in the tire.
Thanks

Welcome to the forum. I think the debate over tire choice is a close second to the forum's favorite--tow vehicle GVWR.
There are days and days worth of reading in the archives on this topic. Enter "Goodyear" or "Sailun" in the white rectangular box near the top right of this page and click the small magnifying glass icon. Then brew a large pot of coffee and settle in--your eyes will get tired before you run out of threads to read!
FYI, I replaced my 315's Westlakes with Goodyear Endurances and also have Ford's TPMS installed. Setup works flawlessly.

We went with the Goodyear and there is a difference compared to the west lakes. If you are going with a TPMS setup the tires need to be balanced with weights not dynabeads. I got mine on sale at camping world and they used the beads to balance and now I am ready to look at TPMS sets and the beads are a no no when reading online

Welcome to the forum. I don稚 think you can go wrong with either. My neighbor has used Saliuns for a long time and is happy. We switched from the Westlakes to the Goodyear last year and have been very happy. They are heavier and run cooler than the Westlakes.

I am a Sailun guy. I have 20K miles on mine. They have worn well, and will be going with the trailer on trade. We'll run the Westlakes since they are guaranteed for a year. Then we'll switch them out for Sailuns again. Great tires and a great price!

I switched out my Westlakes for Bridgestone Duravis R250 LT/E 16" tires as soon as I took delivery. After selling the Westlakes online, the difference was $150 per tire. The R250's are a ribbed industrial tire--like those used on 1 ton trucks with utility beds, cherry pickers or other heavy duty applications. The Costco manager said they usually go to governments or power companies, and they might get 150K miles usage on a truck if well maintained. Michelin also has a comparable ribbed tire for just a little more $.

Les Schwab and another local tire shop vehemently recommended against GY Endurance. I explained they're different than GY Marathons but they were adamant. Told me to get them online if I insisted and they'd mount them.
Can't remember off the top of my head the brand (Chinese) one shop recommended but they were steel casing (unlike Endurance they said) and 12 ply/F-rated. I'll get the brand a do some research or look for the Sailuns for comparison.
Sheesh.. I was set on Endurance with the reports here..Gary & Erin + Kitty the '85# Border Collie/Lab
