Sailun S637

[bobkinner]

i contacted simpletire yesterday by email to see if they could provide a date of manufacture on their tires. the answer i got was the date of manufacture would not exceed 4 years.after reading what others have said in this forum that would seem to be half of the tires life. i would like to hear from people that have purchased tires through them regarding the date of manufacture.
on a totally unrelated note is there an easy way to find your posts with out an extended search, please enlighten me.

My tires from simple tire were 3 mon old when I received them.

Tell them to order but if more than XXXX months old you will refuse them.

There sure is. In fact, there are a couple of ways. Referring to the picture below, the first way is to Click on the "User CP" option in the brown bar. The second way is to Click on your user name shown in the left pane.



Both ways will take you to your Profile, where you can select the "Statistics" option. Within that you will find an option to "Find All Posts by ...".

Hello,

I'm trying to understand the Speed Index for the Sailun G637.
As they state its not only for trailers - how fast can you go?
Over 65?

Thanks for any link to propper documentation

Thanks,
Mike

The Sailum may or may no be a good tire IMO that has not yet been determined. We will go with a proven tire for now.

The Sailun tires have been around a long time. Failures??? No other tire has as good a reputation. The G614 is a good tire at twice the price and has only a few reported failures.

I would suspect if there was a poll taken as to which g rated tire was preferred and bought in the last 5 years, Sailun would win or come in a close second. When no one on this forum that has Sailuns ever complained about them after thousands of miles i would say they are proven. I as well as many others have visited other sites and i don't recall any complaints on the Sailuns on there sites. I put 20,000 miles on my Sailuns and took out 2 factory wheels with them and the tires kept on rolling. I just bought a new set for my rv on account i needed tires for my heavy duty utility trailer so i installed the old tires on it. Just how long does it take for these tires to be proven?

Everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion and the choice of how they spend THEIR $$. I did not record the date/time I first heard the words Sailun S637 tires but I know it has been some time and there have been many discussions here and other forums about them.

I have yet to read the term "I sure wish I had bought the other brand instead of the Sailuns" or anything like it. The other brand is over rated and over priced IMO.

Sailun Tire established in 2002, is situated in National Economic and Technological Development Zone in Qingdao, China. The genesis of Sailun Tire is one of evolution. Its parent company, Mesnac Co. Ltd., designs and manufactures tire building equipment. Sailun Tire was a logical step in showcasing the high quality tires that their equipment is capable of producing.

I have not been able to find information on when the S637 tire came on the market.

No need. No matter what you would find some are very brand loyal. They have had good luck and have no problem paying twice as much for 2nd best.

The real test will come when there is a Sailun tire failure and if Sailun will step up to the plate and cover repairs if determined it was a tire defect.

I have insurance on my 5er at $400per year that would cover that. I see no reason to pay GY about $125 per tire for double coverage.

I have been reading about Sailuns at least the past 6 years, not long after I bought a set of G614's . I kept hearing about them, and the great reviews. When the time came last year I did not hesitate to buy a set of Sailun's.

I have yet to read of any failures, matter of fact, I have NEVER heard of even a complaint about them .

I would recommend Sailun's long before I would ever recommend G614's, even if the G614 was the same price. At twice the price ,and a track record that has not been that stellar, I would never buy another set of Goodyear G614's.

There was a report on RV Net not long ago of a failure with the new Goodyear Endurance trailer tire that some had high hopes for , it was reported first on the Forest River forum. Didn't take long ,they have been out for about a year or so.

We keep hearing the argument about this coverage thing, I too have insurance for such things, no sense in buying more. . Thats the least of my concerns. My concern is a tire that won't leave me beside the road to start with.

The real test IMO has already been proven ,the dependability of the Sailuns.

My 07 3400RL has it above the washer/dryer in the hide-hole behind the breaker panel.

hello,

I am calling my typical suspects of tire workshops and ask for lug centric balancing.
They all say they don't do this and don't have that type of adapter.

Any idea or help form you guys who did follow that procedure how to find or source a shop which can do it?

Is it better to look out for a semi workshop?

Thanks,
Mike
