Tredit is just a distributor of tires, Fact is they peddle many brands of tires, Sailun was established in 2002 in the National Economic and Technological Development Zone in Qingdao, China. Now, Sailun sells over 30 million tires annually in over 50 countries worldwide. Tredit is one of many distributors in the world. In no way are they the manufacturer of Sailuns or any other brand they sell.

...My perception is that they put out (except Sailuns) a poor product and when the reviews pile up they simply change their name to something new...

The producers of poor tire products is not Tredit. It is the various tire manufacturers who, utilizing the "Wal-Mart" philosophy (make it cheaper), produce low cost tires for the RV market. The RV market is equally culpable in this strategy as they are always looking to save a buck anywhere they can. Buying a tire for $70 is much more attractive than one costing $75 (or $85 or $105, etc.), To Montana's credit, they know the problems associated with cheap tires and have recently upgraded to Sailuns on the Montana (tough luck for the HC models). The fact that their competitors moved to Sailuns first may have been another motivator.

Montana has offered the G614s, an extra cost upgrade, for many years. Knowledgeable buyers would insist on them when buying as the standard tire was junk, Now the standard tire is a Sailun, which is an excellent choice.
