Best RV tire and tire monitoring system

Go look on the tire you will see, it's going have either 14 or 16 PR. On mine they are 14 , it's stenciled on the tire 14, with "PR" underneath it .

It's easy to tell there will either be 14 PR or 16 PR on the tire , easy to see , that meaning ply rating , along with a bunch of inflation , and weight ratings for single , and dual wheel application . They can't be a 14 ply H rating , H rating is 16 ply G rating is 14 ply . It's going be on the tire 14 or 16 PR

Yes I found it they are Load Range H 16 PR

As far as those numbers go 133/128m , the 133 means load index of 4541 lbs for single wheel application , the 128 means load index of 3968 lbs for dual wheel application both for 120 psi inflation , which means thats their max ratings for the two applications . The M means is has a speed rating of 81 mph . your tires are definitely H rated Sailuns .

It appears on the Sailun website , Sailun no longer makes a G rated S637 in either the 235/80/16 , or the 235/85/16 . We are going to get H rated from now on ,unless you happen to find an older set from a retailer . You appear to have gotten the latest ,and greatest from Sailun .

Thank you everyone for all the feedback. I have contacted Wal-Mart and they are looking into this. Like PS said Sailun no longer makes the G rated tires. I guess the new tire was so heavy it broke the plastic cable runner on the cable wench for the spare tire now I am onto that problem If anyone as any thoughts on alternatives for spare tire carrier I would appreciate it. Here is the broken part.

There you go . Now figure out how much you want to inflate them . I think you are fine on the tires . As said get the inflation figured out . I will say you don't need that much tire ,but I sure wouldn't worry about it at this point , run them ,and enjoy knowing you got plenty of tire on your fifth wheel .

Yikes , yes they are a heavy tire . I too bought 5 of them , one for the spare . My carrier underneath is mechanical so to speak , the tire lays on it ,and you physically have to lift it into place ,and latch . No cables , but the previous spare was a 238/80/16 G rated , lighter , and smaller . I could lift it into place ,and latch , this one I could not get enough leverage to do so , plus I am getting older . The main thing is I can get it down if needed , and Iwill just have someone latch it when I lift it back in place .

Looks like you are going to have to figure out a better spare carrier or replace the broken part , and hope it will hold up .

 

[PSFORD99]

I like the idea of the spare tire carrier I have . It's two arms that the tire lays on ,and then lifted up in place ,and latched . Not a fan of the cable system at all ,big thing the cable can break . Pretty sure I have read that somewhere . Best case it breaks pulling the spare into place ,and not going down the road . Also I believe some have put a strap on them also just in case . Mine make it a little harder getting lifted in place ,but once it is ,it's not going anywhere .

Looking at my Sailun inflation chart , and dividing your GVWR of 14,400 by 4 thats 3600 per tire if you are loaded to your max GVWR , but as you know not all four tires will be the same . Going to my Sailun inflation chart 3640 lbs call for 80 psi , as said I don't really want tell you what to run ,but "IF" they were mine I would be running them @ 90-95 cold . That pretty much covers your GVWR if you were loaded to the max. Now your tires are rated a bit more being H's . I just can't help to think 90-95 is plenty . I would run them ,and see how warm they get ,and I would imagine warmed up they are going to be running up around 110 -115 but just guessing from what mine do running 95 cold . Also how the fifth wheel rides .

Not so.. You forgot to subtract the pin weight from the 14,400. probably about 3000 lb. So each tire is probably around 3100 or so.

3640 was a number I picked from the Sailun inflation chart for an example , regardless of his weights . I just can’t go by the inflation chart . If I go by my Sailun inflation chart 3060 takes 60 psi. So like 62 psi for 3100 . I don't know about you , but I wouldn' or recommend anyone to run that low of air pressure . So as said 3600 , or your 3100 , whatever ,pick a number the inflation is going to be 60 - 70 psi . So it is so , I like 90-95 for him , you got a better number ,please tell him . I have been running 95 in mine for nearly six years . He certainly doesn't need 120 with his fifth wheel .

I agree 60 lb is way too low! These tires must be made of steel to support 3100 lb at only 60 lb!!!! LOL

Yup , it’s crazy . I was sent the inflation chart from a Sailun sales rep . Had it on my phone now for several years , I’d be curious what the inflation’s are now considering the Sailun S637’s have gone to H rating @ 120 psi . No more G’s . Although the max weight rating only went up a little over 100 lbs . I suspect even though they are designated H they are still the same tire . I remember when the G rated got bumped up to 4400 from I believe 3750 , and from LT to ST .
