@TK. I have a 2015 HC 353. It has 110 psi rims and I put the Sailun S637's on it. Pulls great, plenty of space between the tires, really solid and net overall height change was about 3/4 of an inch - max.

I have rims 80 PSI. Tire dealer says I can run Saliun tires at 80 PSI. From the help on this forum I found 6 lug rims that can handle 110 PSI. I have 2014 HC, so relatively lighter Montana. So just run the tires at 80 or purchase new rims. Leaning on running at 80 and save some money. Yes I don't need this heavy of tire, I am sure some will say. I plan on doing some traveling next year and don't want tire issues. Your opinions?

When I had a Cougar with 80# rims I cheated in the middle with Carlisle LR F. Ran them at 95# . Maybe not a good idea. When later considering Sailun I received an email reply from Sailun saying they could be run at 80#. Bought the Montana instead.?

You can run them at any pressure. It just reduces the carrying capacity of the tire. A, G and a D or an L tire will carry the same amount of weight at a given pressure if they are the same size.

I just checked the Sailun psi chart and you should be good at 80psi for your FW. Here's the chart.

Thanks for the psi chart. Just put on Sailun and given the weight of my Mountaineer and the 6000# axles I should be able to run at 80 psi and still have lots of reserve and a softer ride than going to the max at 110.
What is the speed rating on the tires?

Your statement is corrrct. However, an observation ~~~ my Montana HC arrived with 7000# axels, wheels that support 110# psi and Rainier LR E tires at 80# psi. Changed to Sailun 235/85/r16, not 235/80, that are rated to 4400# per tire at 110#. Noticed a better pull with the Sailun tires at 110 psi. Never had a drawer or cabinet drawer open or anything else. One 480 mile trip found a cup and plate still on the kitchen counter and a glass and toothbrush holder still on the vanity top. I'm finding the Sailun st 110 rides with less chucking as well. Just my 2 cents.

We are in West Yellowstone and had a heck of a time finding anyone who would work with us on a set of Sailuns. One guy here said he never heard of them and wouldn't install something he didn't sell. Quote from Les Schwab in Rexburg ID was $1072. Simpletire.com has them now 10% off so $115 per tire plus FET. Less than $20 shipping per tire made it $560 for 4, and finally found a guy here who will install them for $35/wheel. $140 installation plus $560 for the tires still saved me almost $400. Getting them installed on the SOB next week when they arrive.

There's a couple of Big-O dealers in Idaho Falls. My Big-O dealer will get anything I ask for and gives me a good price. Not sure he could match $115.

Both Big O and Les Schwab carry Sailuns. I am positive there is one of them near you in S.F. Plus SimpleTire will ship to your door and any tire guy can install for you.

I guess they would rather sell you 2nd best at twice the price.

les schwab quoted $957 for 4 out the door st235/80 r16 but they are backordered. They have st235/85 r16 for $1,070 out the door. Requires a wheel and metal valve stem that can handle 110 psi. Will the wheels on my Montana handle this?

Your 2017 Montana should already have G range tires, but yes, your wheels should already be rated 110 psi.

Your wheel will be stamped with the PSI. Either pull a wheel off and look at the back or grab a flashlight and crawl underneath. Looking is the only way you will be sure.

The wheels on the 2-17 HC had metal valve stems and looked like those on the Montana but had LR E tires. Sent a picture to the manufacturer and they confirmed ~~~ 110 psi. Put Sailun tires on at 110 and zerp problems.
