Does anyone know of any place in Elkhart that stocks the Sailuns? I would like to change out my Trailer King tires before heading back to Texas on Friday.

Ditto with Trailer Tires and Wheels. Great pricing and service. Upgraded to 17.5" with Goodyear g114s. Tires are also rated for higher speed and have a 7 year life. Oh and now I look where I'm going instead of the mirror at the blowmaxs back there lol

Thanks for all the recommendations for Trailer Tires and Wheels! Drove over this morning while MORryde finishes up my IS and disc brakes this morning. Got an even better price than the website showed. $166 plus $10 to mount and balance.

That's a great deal. You will not regret getting those Sailun tires, I love mine.

Question Sir: Why did you go from 16" to 17.5" wheels? Was it for greater load carrying capacity?

Clarification please. The tires have a life of 7 years? What's the mileage expectation? Was there enough room on the RV moving from 16" wheels to 17.5" wheels ?
Thank you,
Brad

Thank you John. I did some research after posting to discover you can get much better load carrying capacity for both the wheels and tires. The overall diameter of the tires for the 17.5" wheels is darn near the same as the 16" wheels so not a problem. /thanks again. Brad

Hi all,
I am looking at buying a TQ371. The issue is i live in Alaska and it will be delivered from Michigan. With that being said I am concerned about the tires, the dealer assured me the stock tires are Sailuns with an F rating. But after reading and youtubing i am wondering what the likelihood is i will need to buy new tires? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Re: Tires
If you are not comfortable with the dealers response, have them send you photos of the tire brand, size, date code, etc.

Re: Tires
That all said, we haven't been hearing much about tire failures on new trailers for the past year or two. So whatever tires are being used seem to be better than what was used in the past.
Best thing to do is call Heartland Customer Service at 877-262-8032 / 574-262-8030. Ask for sales. They can tell you what tires are being put on TQ371s today. Keep in mind that things can change without notice.

Re: Tires
If they are Sailuns I wouldn't worry or change them. At least for 4-5 years.

Re: Tires
First off thanks for the responses, I am happy with what I was told. That being said neither of us can account for the delivery driver and how he transports the camper. So I guess worse case scenario I will. But it is reassuring to hear the tires are good from the factory.
