If you are still using the OEM tires you should get a TPM. You can't tell when you will have a blowout. The only thing that is near certain is you will have one.

Never take the unit off the lot with the oem tires.I brought my sailuns to the dealership and had them changed out. You can take the factory tires and then sell them to someone local for there lowboy trailer which want have near the catastrophic results when they blow-out. Most lowboys don't carry the weight as these tires do on our rv's.

Mike117 I bought mine from a place in Michigan if I remember correctly. When researching where to buy them in the Pacific Northwest I did find three or four places around the Seattle area that supposedly sold them. I really did not want to pull the unit over there for tires so I naught mine online jacked the unit up on manual mode and removed all the tires and rims. Loaded new tires and old rims with Trail King tires in the back of my truck and had Costco mount and balance the new tires and reinstalled on the unit. Simple tire sells them although the tire size is just a bit bigger (taller) and I decided to go with exact same size so I bought mine from Michigan. I can't remember their name but they had good customer service and the correct size so I decided to buy from them. I will try to come up with their name as they sent me a t-shirt and new steel valve stems for free with my purchase of the tires. If yo do a search on Sailun you will find long thread that I started and it has the company's name.

I am considering to order 5 Sailun ST235/80/R16 S637T G rated tires for my 2016 Montana in the next 60 days. I received a quote from our West Coast business called "LES SCHWAB Tires" for a $185 each. They told me they have plenty of the Sailun brand in their Distribution Center. They will also rebate a small portion back on the OEM tires of less than 5K miles, which should offset labor and taxes. I still have some concerns about the OEM rims and the PSI. The tech said they will run just fine at 80PSI but can go up to 110PSI. I'm assuming it's my choice for a 14K weighted trailer if I maintain the current 80PSI recommendations. I still don't know if the 235/85 series is necessary for anything other than a 1 inch height change. I also have to consider a TPMS, but don't see it to be as necessary with the Sailuns now, as an added expense.
This was directed back to Mike117 also.

Don't know yet we will be due for new tires in a couple of years .The OEM G614s with the IS suspension are wearing even and have plenty of thread left after about 25K miles and show no signs of ageing yet.

Sailuns must be readily available here in Chattanooga, TN. I just checked with 2 independent dealers and both are familiar with them and can have them next day. Quoted $886.89 for five (5) 235/85R-16 mounted, balanced, all taxes, and new metal stems "out the door". Will be having them mounted this Spring.
