Your Trailer King tires have excelled since 2015, because they're reportedly one of the worst of the China bombs. I'd recommend Sailuns if your wheels are rated at 110psi.

Had Trailer Kings on my HC since 2015 also. Discount said they were still in good shape but traded anyway.

What Bob said. I love my G614s.

Tires

All 4 of my Tow Max tires had to be replaced at less than 4000 miles. I bought Firestone LT tires because I was leaving that morning and that was all that was available . Since then I have pulled almost 60,000 miles with them and they still look great. There have been 2 that picked up nails but after correct patching no more problems. I will probably buy the same tires again.

I wonder if the Sailuns and the Goodyears cost the same what the boards consensus would be.

Coming back from Quartzsite in January, I had a blowout on the right rear tire on the HC 293RK. It had the original Trailer Kings. $2500 worth of damage to the J-wrap behind and around the tire that blew. After much research and hand wringing I put on the Sailun S637. I am paying a lot more attention to the tires and tire pressure now!!

We had trailer kings and now have sailuns. Not because of price but its a full commercial trailer tire.

I chose to get Sailuns a couple of years ago based on their reputation, and because the GY Endurance did not then have a reputation. Today, I would still buy Sailuns over GY (at equal price) knowing some of GY's prior ST tires had problems.

Well I am still looking for tire advise.My tire guy says they do not make a goodyear G614 in a ST235/80r16 but they do make an 85 which is about a half inch taller.Does anyone see a problem with wheels etc.
Also he says he sells a brand called Cynergy ( may be Synergy ) tires in a g rated 14ply in the 235/80. Anyone know about these tires ?
I have heard a lot of people say they like the Saliuns but he sees those a lot coming off interstate with bad tires.That is what I was leaning to in the S637.

I am fed up with trying to figure it out.I have to do something with these Trailer Kings !

First he is selling tires and the more expensive ones are more profitable. Have him take you out to the tire pile and show you some failed Sailun’s. I have been watching the Sailun’s for 7: years now and have only read about one failure. I just today had a set put on my 2015 8435RL because the Bridgestones timed out.

What kind of Bridgestones did you have on those 7000# axles? Just curious.

Sorry I don’t remember but they were to replace the Trail King that came with the rig.
The rig weighs a bit over 11000 pounds on the two rig axles so each one had to support a little over 2600 lbs.

Have numerous friends with Montanas with E rated tires who have not experienced a blowout. You would think that Montana would put G rated tires on them if they thought they needed to.

Regards and be safe......
Montana arrive with Sailun S637 G rated tires. HC have been arriving with LR F since at least 2016 so why would anyone use an LR E?

If you check with the company they will give you a weight/psi chart beginning at 80 PSI so no real need for 110# wheels.

Oh, I see, you're not posting about the trailer in your signature?

You all got me thinking about the tires we have on a our recently purchased 2017 Montana 3731FL. Went out to look and was surprised to see we already had Sailum tires on our rig!! I feel a lot more confident now about our upcoming trip(s) this summer. We are going to be putting about 5,000 miles on the rig this summer. Hopefully we won't have any problems.

Thanks for a great board! Love all the comments and suggestions!
