The 235/80 are fine. I bought the 235/85 simply as they were only 3 months old and $10 less per tire at the time. The 80 is about the same size as the Rainier. The 85 is .9" taller and raises the...

I found the 235/85/16 Sailun .9" taller on the spec sheet. The Sailun 235/80/16 I thought was almost the same.
I took the 5er strait from the dealer to the tire shop to have the Sailun tires...

I have insurance on my 5er at $400per year that would cover that. I see no reason to pay GY about $125 per tire for double coverage.

The Sailun tires have been around a long time. Failures??? No other tire has as good a reputation. The G614 is a good tire at twice the price and has only a few reported failures.

Correct. They are rated for 4080# at 110# PSI. I would not run anything but Sailun on a 5er over 12,000# GVWR. I have the 235/85/16 on ~~ the only difference is they are rated at 4400# at 110PSI....

I too had great success with Carlisle tires on lighter 5ers. The highest rating Carlisle makes is LR F. The Sailun LR G S637 are the best tire available, closely followed by GY G614.

On tires I buy what will be the best/safest ~~ Sailun made in China. For the F350 I buy Michelin, made in USA. The Sailuns cost $750 and Michelins $1200. I wish the Michelins were made in China.
