I think this has been discussed in the various Sailun threads. As I understand the history, the 637 was an all-position tire (with a different label) typically used in the delivery service industry. For import purposes (and probably financial, too), the tire was rebadged as an ST tire, and because it's labeled thusly, it has to conform to US standards that it only be used for trailers. If you look closely at the tire, it looks very similar to typical light truck highway tread tires.
Another reason the tire is priced low, and this is my opinion only, is that Sailun is trying to make a dent in ST tire sales. One might call it dumping. Based on what I've seen, and the fact there has not been one single anecdotal complaint about Sailun tires, they're selling a lot of tires. I'll bet we start to see the price go up in 2019.
