I'm considering looking at the Sailun S637 235/75R17.5 load index 143/141L 16 ply max 6,005# @125psi. With new rims total $$ will be ~$2,000. |
WoW!! I thought my 5er ready to snowbird at just under 14,000# (gvwr 15,200) with Sailun 235/85R16 was overkill at 4400 ~~ not sure what I'd pull to think of 6005# rated. I'm not sure there is enough height in the wheel wells or between tires either.
Most that beat the LT drum had a blowout or know someone that did on ST tires. Most of those tires were barely adequate when installed at the factory. Some were not properly cared for or run on low psi. Some had nearly aged out when the RV was purchased. All were the cheapest the builder could find. So, they run to LT tires. The only blowout I ever had was on a nearly new Good Year LT tire but I've only been driving 53 years.
