Sailun tire failure
Happened again. Tires set 110 psi cold. Tpms caught the failure before it was an expensive failure. 2nd time it saved my butt !!

This is unsettling since we have heard very little about any problems with Sailuns.

A few questions:
1. What did the TPMS do to alert you as it appears the tire still had pressure?
2. The separated tread flying around didn't tear up anything nearby?
3. Is this an 80 or 85 aspect ratio tire?
4. Is this tire on the same side as the last one that failed?
5. What is the Date Code on the tire?
As DQDick wrote, this is very disconcerting given the recommendations for these tires.

1. Yes tire still has pressure. I was alerted to low pressure alert.
2. As soon as I got the alert I stopped got very lucky !!
3. 235 80 16
4. No different side. I have another Vietnam sailun that I’m considering removing.
5.

I emailed them, I think… I’m currently in Jackson hole WY so not sure what I’m going to find when I go looking for a tire. You would think it would be warrantied but I’m only here for 5 days so I’m sure I’ll end up buying something.

I had a brake disintegrate. The spring wire came out the inspection hole and rubbed a groove in the tire.
I ended up getting the sailun replacement tire at a commercial truck tire shop. Ordered it, it was there the next day. I could have gone through Walmart but it would take a week and they would not mount it or balance it.

Would Walmart have honored warranty?

We aren’t to that point yet. I’ll probably contact Sailun. Anyway I left the tire but took pictures. Didn’t want to carry if. We are on a multi stop trip.

I was more in a hurry to be mobile again than the warranty.
Because my tire failure was caused by the brake spring gouging a groove in the tire, I did not pursue any warranty claim.

Tire Failure
I run Sailun also with the TMS, but I have come to find out that I start out at 80 - 85 pounds cold and let them build as I drive. I understand they can be filled to a 110 pounds cold but I refuse to run that high. Also the weight of your trailer plays a factor into this also.
Also the company could have run into a bad batch of rubber when manufacturing the tires that would have caused them to separate from the tire that's always a possibility.

I have heard that if you aren't at your GVWR, you should set your pressure lower. I run mine at 105 cold in the Florida heat. I have noticed that the pressure builds up to between 118 and 122 PSI. I have to wonder if starting out cold at 110 might be leading to an overinflation.
Also, one of the pictures looks like the tire was a retread. I hate to think they are selling retreads as new tires.

I have a set of 4 sitting in my truck right now to have mounted this morning. Just got them from Simple Tire. I hope this isn't a trend!
UPDATE: Mine are also ST235/80R16 Date Code: 5120, Made in Vietnam.
Just checked SimpleTire's website, No Warranty.

There is warranty information in their product sheet in their reference below.
http://gosailun.com/Content/images2/...S637T_1120.pdf
You might want to ask Sailun why a tire having "made in Vietnam" on it's sidewall has a plant code 1Y (1Y - SHANDONG HUATAI TYRE CO., LTD. - CHINA)?

1YJ is manufactured in Viet Nam according to the NHTSA database

I thought I already corrected that. Here's the new list.
