Same in Northern Ohio.Tire dealers never heard of them. There are none listed in Ohio. Nearest is Detroit. yes you can order them and find a place to install them. I was a bit leery that no one heard of them and could offer no information on the reliability or company policy. There is "information" on various forums but forums are not were we determine what we will or will not buy.We replaced our G614's with G614's.More expensive but I feel better about it.The 4 G6-14's cost us 302.00 each Installed, Balanced and Ohio sales tax. More expensive but I feel better about it.

Rich, we are on our 3rd set of G614's, there were two sets on our 2005 Montana, then the new 2015 came with them. I am more than satisfied. One very interesting thing I have noticed about the G614, is that rarely ever have I had to add air, even after no use in the winter.

I would consider g614 but the price difference and all the good reviews with the saluns and the fact is my camper sits on blocks unless a hurricane comes, were looking for something a little lighter on the pocket book. My oem tires look brand new as there not on the ground and covered but there at there life limit so with the hurricane season on us i need to update. i found simple tire and ebay the only choices and looking for anyone elese that has bought them online as florida has no dealers.

Yes We noted that about the air loss also after 6 months in Florida never moving or checking air we may not be low. at all or maybe 1 or 2 psi.

With all the never ending discussions on how great the sailuns are, why do i not see anyone chime in on where they bought them. Anyone, Anyone. Crickets. Lol

Understand that.We do a lot of miles at interstate and tpk speeds.We know Florida has no dealers as we winter there also. We all have choices and all things considered we choose the G614's

I bought mine from simple tire on line then had discount tire mount them for me. When you go online you can look to see if they have a tire installer in your area that they work with. If they do they will send tire to them for your install.

We are currently in Montana pulling our 3402rl with a set of Sailun S637 ST235R80/16. So far (about 7000 miles) I am very impressed with them. These are real heavy duty tires, not the maypops (Maxxums) that I replaced. The only difference between 80s and 85s is less than an inch in the sidewall height. See Sailun specs on their Web site. We live in south Georgia just north of Tallahassee, FL and my local small town tire dealership had no problem ordering the tires with a stated manufacture date and mounted, replaced valve stems, and balanced them. BTW , three of the four Maxxums were seperating. These were the first 16 inch Sailuns my dealer had installed although they had put them on semis.

We purchased our last year from a local dealer who ordered them through his dealership. He was able to match the price I found on line through simple tire. I then paid him to mount and balance.

Les Schwab, Big O, and Simpletire.com are the sources who have them in stock that I know of in the western US. An independent dealer should be able them too.

Called the nearest tire dealer to my home. He checked price and build dates. Called me back stating 5 Sailun 235/85/16 would be at the shop the next day. He found the 85 for $10 each than the 80. Left the dealer and 43 miles later the tires were changed. Tire shop gave me $30 each for the Rainiers.

I have them from the factory on our Montana and I am considering a set for the F350 also. Of course they won't be the S637. I have checked with 2 independent tire dealers in Chattanooga, TN and have been told by both that they can have Sailuns "over night" or even same day if order placed early.
Maybe people should check with small independent dealers instead of the "big name" tire stores.

Old habits die hard. G614's at one time had a terrible reputation, although they have improved. Yes we all have choices, and I refuse to be held up for ransom at the price of a G614, when arguably the Sailun is a better tire.
As far as availability, Simple Tire can have them on your doorstep very quickly, and even shipped to a local tire shop,so getting them anywhere in the country is no reason to stay away from them.

Agree. I bought my 1st set and had rv dealer install them before i drove off the lot. I just bought my 2nd set in February and had local tire shop install. I bought both sets at simple tire with no problem. While people are worrying about there tires they should also be worrying about there wheels. I've had 2 wheels in 2 years crack with the sailun's on them. The sailun's seem to be tougher than the wheels.Needless to say, i replaced all 4 wheels with Hi-Spec wheels and hope they will be ok now. If you are worrying about not being able to get sailun's then do like me and carry an extra mounted steel wheel
spare. I don't worry about the tires, i worry about the wheels. Wheels can be harder to find in an emergency than tires especially if you are looking for an matched wheel. Now if i have a tire problem i don't worry. I just install one spare and hopefully i won't have any more problem's before i get home and i can address the problem then.
