just trying to find out how many people are running the sailun 637 st tires on their rigs on the factory rims. I am trying to find out what pressure people are running them at and if you have had any issues. one tire guy told me they would wear down the bead section of the alloy rim and I was just wondering if that is true.
thanks

My present set has only been on for about a year, no issues of course. The other set was on a different trailer and they lasted 6 years. I sold the trailer so I don't know if they're still in use. The previous trailer was a triple axle and I ran the pressure at 90 psi, but only running about 2,500 lbs/tire. The present trailer has around 3,500 lbs./tire so I'm running them 105-110 psi.
Since there is no movement, I don't see how they could "wear down" the bead section. I'd need some clarification on that from that "tire guy", but I've never heard of any such issue with them.

I've been running Sailuns for 7+ years and on my second set. No issues with stock wheels running at 100psi. I've never heard of the bead issue either.

I'm on my 2nd set. Ran my first set a 110 psi for 7 years. I noticed what I believe was wear form over inflation. Granted this wear did not show itself until 7 years later.
On my current 2nd set of 637's I inflate to 95-100 PSI.

I have them on a 14K 5W for about 3 years. These are actually about 2 years as the first set was under recall so I have a free year on Sailuns. I have had them in stow & rain and they track well. (snow was no intentional freak storm on Wolf Creek Pass.

Factory rims …. My trailer came with G rated Michelins.
I’ve considered inflating them to 5psi over the inflation chart recommendation which would put me at about 70 psi, but, because Citation recommends 110 and I don’t really know much about it I figured I’d follow Citation’s recommendation.
