Sailun failure part 2
I debated about posting another failure, but might as well put it out there. So in Utah on our way home we blew another tire. Tpms alerted me but I couldn’t pull over no room. By the time I did the drivers side I skirt was toast. I limped to the next exit 8 miles at 15 mph. Assessed removed the skirt screwed in the skirt that was still attached. Assessed the hydraulics, the propane line abs moved to the tire situation. Changed and moved forward. Still waiting and will call big o Monday since they did not call me.
Tires were checked before we left Jackson hole, which is where we got the new tire from the first blow out. All 110 cold.

Man oh man, I sure hope these Vietnam made Sailun tires don’t tarnish the tire brand.

Guys, each of you that have had a problem with these particular Sailun tires
DOT 1YJ. date code xxxx. Made in Vietnam.
Please report them. If you don't you are not helping the good name Sailun has nor your fellow Montana owners (as well as other RV owners).
NTSB report a problem

I’ll need to look but should be the same as the other one that blew. Purchased same time.

CalandLinda mentioned the DOT manufacturer code 1YJ
SHANDONG HUATAI TYRE CO., LTD. - CHINA
And the tire has made in Vietnam stamped on it. Perhaps these are knock offs?
Has been known to happen.
All the more reason to report it and DOT investigate this.
BTW, The new one I put on is 1YJ. Date code 4920 Made in Vietnam.

Does anyone have any advise on replacing the side J skirt. I’m going to order it and pick up an air nibbled and some Construction paper to make a template. But advise would be appreciated.

Quote from the December 2018 article about the plant in Vietnam sited by Rohrmann…
“Construction of the facility is expected to begin early next year with tire production commencing in the first half of 2020.”
Looks like forum members have been testing out the early production runs.

Purchased flat painted aluminum sheeting in a roll, cut to fit. Replaced plastic support brackets with treated lumber. Worked well and cost much less than J panel.

Just going through the same issue. Had to order through a Keystone dealer as based in Canada.
I received great advice from the forum and you can get it from: Trekwood - www.trekwood.com/parts

I noticed that too. I had been hearing info about the Hercules tires and found out they are made in that plant too. Used to be made in Malaysia.

That is unfortunate and thanks for posting. I wouldn't trust the other two tires at all if they are close to mfg date and location.

I just finished calling the NHTSA and posted the complaint. Gave them all the required information. From the FB group I know there are several more that have had the same problem I had and I directed them that way for more information. Not sure if this will do anything but thought might as well….

Thanks, Tony. I have about 300 miles on 3 new ones. The fourth was lost by FedEx and Simple Tire replaced it. It's sitting at my S&B waiting for my return. I hope these tires hold up. Getting the new rear axle installed next week.
