i had the dealer install the sailun's with metal valve stems before i left the lot. I always inflate to 110 psi because of the weight and less friction on the road which means cooler tires. I've got over 15,000 miles on the tires now and they have taken out 2 wheels because of the rough roads. The tires are tougher than the wheels.I have the tire monitors on and was saved from a lot of expense and headache when the monitor alarm came on 200 miles after leaving the national rally last month. I've got 4 new hi-spec wheels ordered and they should be in today. While we all worry about the tires, the wheels are as much junk as the tires that come on these trailers.These factory wheels can't take the beating the sailun's can take.
