Alternatives to Sailun Trailer Tires: Gladiator and Other Options

[Byron B]

Shopping for new tires…
Sailuns have gotten pretty pricey with the tariffs so open to other options as long as I can depend on them. Presently running 14P Sailuns and haven’t had any trouble but they are 4 1/2 years old and gotta go before we start our trip in about 6-7 weeks.
Anyone have experience with the above mentioned tires by Gladiator (US made).

Have had a lot of luck with Hercules.

I have no experience with them but I can tell you they are not us made. They seem to have a good of reputation as any other Asian tire maker.

Hmm, I’m seeing ST235-80-16 H rated $184-$209 online, free shipping. We paid about $189 + mounting ea for a pair from an indy shop in ND last Sept.

FWIW, at the Montana factory tour last Aug, they were using Maxxis tires of the same size and 17.5 H rated Sailuns.

I did a query on Chat GPT and discovered that! Thanks.

Tried to order Sailuns from Wally World but they are listed as “out of stock” or “unavailable”. Guess I will have to pay the extra $30 per tire but that is pretty cheap piece of mind.

Strange. As of about 10 mins ago, the Walmart app shows an online order price of $209 ea w/ free delivery for Mar 5. I think it was TiresEasy that had it for $184 ea w/ free shipping.

I had the same thing show up but when I hit “buy now” it showed not available!

I bought my last set of Sailuns from SinpleTire. At the time cheaper than WM.

I'm Looking to replace my Sailun tires and yes finding them has been a challenge. Has anyone ordered them on line? Have the week and year made info on tire been fairly recent. Something like late 2025 or early 2026. I had Ordered a new set of Sailun's from Big O. When I asked for the week/year I was told week 44/ 2024. Not buying tires almost 2 years old. I have notice that there are both G rated and H rated available on come sites with the H rated probably with a newer made date which I don't need. Wal Mart has also been showing the G rated not available.
Any help on my search would be Much Appreciated

Big O is where I am going to get my Saliuns , although I am going to go with the H's . I see no problem with them . I'll run the same air pressure , or slightly more in them as I did the G's . I think you are going to be out of luck finding a G rated Sailun thats very new . Same here with Big O ,had the manager here locally roll out a G rated DOT was 2024 , don't remember the week on it ,but 2024 was good enough to know I didn't want them . FYI Big O right now is the cheapest I can find for the Sailun S637 ST235/85/16 H rated . Quoted me yesterday $177 ea. yesterday 4/2 . The closest price I found online Tire Easy was $189.26 ea .
