Take a look at some tire threads on IRV2.com lots of Sailun mentions there.
They are Chinese manufacture, but have many, many good reports and very few negatives. I got my 17.5s from SimpleTire.com--at the cost of Michelins, you can buy more than 2 sets of Sailuns, including mounting charges. With the good luck on the trailer, I put 6 on my '10 450 and had about 65k on them when I traded, great tread left.
Soured on Michelin LTX in 17.5 when 2 of 4 had tread separations at about 4 years and Michelin would not even talk to me about an adjustment on a new set.
I don't necessarily think they are the best tire, just a really good tire at a great price.
