Sailun are my go to tire, second set in 8 years(replaced at 5 years), no issues on my previous 5th wheel 36 Teton . Tires still looked good when replaced at 5 years, didn't want to push past the 5 years with any tire.

Tires in pic ARE 17.5's and do have a superior track record as do the GY "G" 16".

Even Sailun's have problems.

Ron,
I am sure that any tire can have a problem, I just have not heard yet of a blowout with a Sailun...hopefully, someone that has had a bad experience will chime in.

I have read about a couple on other forums, but like I said they do have a good track record.

Difference is they will not pay for damages as GY will. So that would mean an insurance claim.

Nice to have choices!

GY damage reimbursements is certainly a consideration. Michelin is out of running with me due to attitude on tread separations.
Do you have a link to a Sailun blowout discussion?

Nothing but trouble free miles on the last set of 5 I purchased for last trailer (Travel Supreme). Current owner still pleased with them also, spare has never been used, 4+ yrs. Can't honestly say I've ever heard a cross word on Sailun's by anyone running them. Perhaps some China bias by others (to be expected). A solid value in my pocketbook.

Thanks. Read thru it all--going to chalk it up to 'it happens' and can to any tire. I'm going to be faced with replacing the G114s next summer and considering the GY warranty as a big part of the consideration.

Interesting read, thanks for posting.
I'm slightly impressed the tire hung together that long and didn't scatter. sigh. Still a pretty good track record.

Good points. Yeah, the warranty is indeed a little like an insurance policy in a way. Pay it now or later... And GY appears to honor theirs. A decision we'll all have.

That is an intriguing report of...not very much. Can't imagine if I had lost all 4 relatively new tires to 'deterioration' I would have been working hard with the distributor/Sailun to get some satisfaction.
But thanks for linking to that, not sure what to make of it.
Guess I started this by stating I "had not heard of problems with Sailuns" can't say that any longer.

The reasons for posting that NHTSA report was multipl. It shows where to look for official reports and the difficulty encountered when the manufacturers are in China.

In this case, Dynamic is the OCM tire provider for Hartland trailers. It's the only Sailun complaint I could find. Tredit, another large OEM tire provider that also handles Sailun tires has never filed a complaint against the Sailun brand.

Hmm, we'll assume that is from the mfr. date stamp too? Sheds more light on "timed out" theory, sigh.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I would highly advise calling GY Tech support. "Under 4 years" what does that mean, 3 years, 11 mo and 29 days??? I don't think so.

They replaced my Dad's at 6 years around 07 and paid the damages.

I wonder about calling GY tech support:

"Say, my GY-114s are 6 years old--will you pay for any damages incurred from a blowout'?"

What do you think the answer would be?

They will want to inspect the tire. (What's left of it).
