Tire options
Looking at tire options for our 2014 3155RL. Original tires are 4 yrs old and am not going to trust them when we start traveling next summer. I see many positive posts about the Sailun S637’s, can’t find anybody in Montana that sells them. Any other recommendations?
Have any of you guys went to a 17” or 18” wheel in order to use LT tires? I see Redwood and DRS come with those, seems like a good way to go. Curious about that.

I just put a nail in one of my Sailuns that is unrepairable. I could not find anyone local that stocked the tire but just ordered a single tire from SimpleTire.com - free shipping.

Goodyear 614's are an option, but more expensive.

In addition to simpletire.com I found that Big O carries Sailuns. I got them in WY but there are many Big O stores in MT.

Simple tire is really great when you have free shipping and no sales tax.

TST 507 very easy to install and program. Did not use the anti theft connectors took the sensors out of their housing and discarded them.

There are many LT tires for 16" rims. You do not need to go to a 17 or 18. I went with 5 new sailuns this year. $148 installed at local tire store that had them in stock. I am in Maryland.

The tires were purchased at Barnes service center in Westminster MD. Yes my rims are rated at 110 psi as stamped on the rims. I have read that most rims from 2010 and up should be 110 psi rated.

We have two years+ and about 10,000 miles on our Sailuns and could not be happier with them. Came from our local Big O. Will definately be replacing them with more Sailuns when the time comes.
