Vision Trailer Tires??

[HarleyCowboy]

Anybody have any experience with Vision Trailer Tires sold by Discount Tire? They are another Chinese tire. The ST 235/85R/16 is G rated, 3749LBS @ 110 PSI, and 14 ply, Speed rated @100MPH for $160. All sounds too good to be true. A friend of mine bought a set yesterday. I need new tires to replace my "Blowmax". Just checking, thanks in advance.

Get some sailuns for about the same price. Simple tire online sells them.

Hard to believe a ST tire for trailers is speed rated at 100mph. I'm going to do some research on them anyway. Your right. Sounds to good to be true. Could be the case of another company putting a different name on the Chinese tires.

Read the disclaimer on the speed rating.

Might take a look at this - in here, there is a link to a Cedar Creek RV forum which shows the damage done when one of these blew. Seems to be on the same level as TowMax.

I was trying to find a tire that could be found easy. Discount Tire is everywhere. I buy all my Truck and SUV tires from them.

I thought the same thing. But if they are rated at 100 you would think 70 would be safe

I saw that It was a few years ago Maybe they fixed the problem?

I've heard that NTB has them now. May be worth giving them a call. You will not be disappointed with the sailuns. They are a commercial tire. Very heavy duty and well built

Thanks Ill look into NTB

I've looked into NTB and Pep Boys and I can't find any Sailuns in Texas. My axels are too close together for the Michelin Rib or LX (what I use on my TV). So it looks like I'm limited to Goodyear G614 (same Dia. as current Blowmax) or another Chinese tire. wish there were more options but Heartland has limited me by having the 2nd & 3rd axels so close together.

Found the spec sheet on Sailum's. Don't look like they would work either. Blowmax shows to be 30.8 Dia. and Sailum shows 31.7. There is barely 1.75 between the tires now. If I add almost .50 to each radius I will be about .75 between the tires. I don't think that is enough.
Any input?

I would still use the sailuns or a 235 85 16 or a 265 75 16
