My newest tire purchase was Maxxis. One year of fulltiming but not traveling far from home and all is still good. I just wanted to remind others that there is another possible alternative to a Sailun for a lower price that G614s.
One oddity is that when I installed these they used Nitrogen, but after each trip the psi was less than the 80 psi I typically use. However, now after about the sixth month, and refilling with my regular pancake compressor, I no longer have to refill them. Go figure. Not complaining, mind you, but it seems weird that when the tires were filled with nitrogen upon purchase, I had to refill air prior to traveling, but about 6 months later no more refilling and the psi has been real solid at 80 psi. We are now approaching 12 months (June 15) and I haven't put air in the tires since about December. I thought it could be the cold, but the first few months were hot, then we had a mild winter and the weather is still relatively mild and no change in psi. Nevertheless, I'll keep checking before each 1 to 3 week travel. session.

My SOB came with Sailuns on it. Ran them well over 30,000 miles and never a problem. I changed them out because they were 5 yrs. old and not because they showed wear. I replaced them with the Goodyear G614 because it seemed the right thing to do. Now I wonder why? Never even questioned or priced the Sailuns, was just hell bent on G614's. Time will tell.

I should add that my 5th wheel is a 16,000 lb. trailer.

I too am running G614's , and have had no issues . I got 5 years on them now, plan to run them one more year, and replace them with the Sailun.

In Sk. Canada where I live, G614's at the cheapest Goodyear dealer is $2,200.00 complete installed, balanced, metal valve stems, and all fees and taxes. Sailun 637's are $862.00 total. For me it's an easy decision, S637's are going on Monty tomorrow. They are cheaper and have to be better than the Trailer Kings that are on Monty right now.

IMO a good choice, and a better tire then the G614's. the Sailuns sure have a better track record so far.
