OE Tires Ranier R527

We've had the same set Goodyear G rated on our rig since 2017. Never a problem, but we are ready for new tires. I see a lot of Sailun fans here. Are they that much better than Goodyear?

They are simply because they meet the weight rating , when this Goodyear do not . There was a day those Goodyear were just not a very reliable tire. , many reports of blowouts . Apparently they have improved . But as said they don’t meet the weight rating for these 7k axles .

The Goodyear G614 used to be standard on Montanas until the RVIA specs required a 15% reserve capacity. The G614 doesn't meet it and Sailuns became the Montana standard.

Congrats on making it 8 years on those tires. The Goodyear warranty is only good for 4 years. Ask me how I know. I had one throw a tread, which I discovered 100 miles later when I stopped. It still has 110 P.S.I. while running on the casing. I replaced them with Sailuns that day and have used them since.

I'm ready to upgrade. My Ranier's are the same as the OP. 235/80/R16. 4080 load single. They have excellent wear and we're on our 50th trip out. They're dated February 2021 so they are aging out. Considering Sailun's. I remember Dutch having Hercules and loved them. I know Sailun is the go to but I also hear good things about Cooper. Suggestions?

Yep, Sailuns. We're on our 2nd set on this rig. So far so good. I would also feel good about Cooper or Carlysle (Calstar now?)
