Can anyone recommend any suppliers or vendors offering the Sailun S 637 ST235/80R16 LR G tires?

I think most of us order from

Www.simpletire.com

What area of Texas are you in? North DFW area here. I have been looking for a good (reputable) RV shop but what I've been finding is a bunch of dealerships that want to sell you new RVs but the service end of the business is like pulling teeth. We did not have a good experience with Explore USA in Denton, TX!!! Is there a thread here that recommends repair centers based on area?

Lubbock...I have some friends in North dfw...I'll ask em who they use.

Sailun's are in and getting them installed! Using SimpleTire.com was hassle free!

Sailun tires are installed! I'm changing out the primary spare to a Sailun as well and plan on mounting the Carlisle on a second steel wheel as back up to the spare!

Question 1...Should I run my air pressure as close as possible to 110 PSI (cold)?

Question 2...What can I expect the PSI to rise to once the tires are heated up?

Question 3...What tire pressure / monitor management system do the wiser, more experienced recommend?

I appreciate everyone's help in this thread!

I'm running mine at 110 psi. I cant tell you the temp or pressure rise because I don't have a tire monitor on them.

My RV loaded is 15,100 lbs. Appx 3k is on the pin. That leaves 12k between 4 tires or 3k ea IF all is equal (seldom). That is well within the limits of the tires.

That being said I have been running 110lb. Last weekend I set them at ~100lb. Outside temp 95. After warmup at 63MPH they were up to 114lbs. The temp was ~105. My rear TV tires went from 80 to 91lbs.

Monitored using TST 507 System.

Ended up going with a Tire Minder system. Easy to set up and configure.

Update on Tomax Claim:

Dynamic Tire Corp sent us a letter today, blah, blah, blah...all my fault of course! They did offer us $750 as a "good will" gesture! I guess it's better than nothing!

110lb is a lot of pressure for the load. Get the manufactures LOAD/INFLATION chart and add 10% to 20% to the minimum required pressure. For my Goodyear G614's, LT235/85R16, the 3000lb load on each tire requires 80psi for 3042lbs. I use 100psi for 3550lbs. This gives me approximately 15.5% margin for load. At 105psi I do get noticeable bounce inside and the margin is 16.4%. Excessive bounce will cause excessive wear on suspension and not so good on everything else. Here is my Goodyear Load Inflation Chart as an example:

Almost EVERY tire expert recommends max pressure in a multi axle trailer situation...the worst things you can do are run a tire low and subject it to lateral stress (sharp turns) which are almost un avoidable with a camper. Max pressures ensure lower heat and less lateral stress...not necessarily best ride quality....im no tire expert per se, but i have had this conversation with more than one tire engineer...or research it and see what you think....i run 110 in my g tires measured at 70 degrees cold tire pressure...

Sounds like the IKEA commercial...start the vehicle; start the vehicle, lets go.
