Aka the breeze wrote:It’s that time again to start doing homework on tires… running 215/75/17.5 and here is what I’ve found-
In terms of cost-
Cheapest- Saliun
Middle- Cooper Work Series RHT
Top- GoodYear G114
Need to save some cash, anyone running the Cooper Work series? I have a friend that purchases a new Grand Design and paid for the Cooper upgrade. That is what he is running but only has 1.5 years of limited use on them.
My RV scales in at 16,750#
IMO the best of the 3 are the Sailun , don't be fooled by the price . The last one I would buy is the Goodyear . I'd go Cooper before the Goodyear ,although Cooper is owned by Goodyear .
I have run two sets of Sailun , and will continue to do so .

I see a lot of people glossed over the 17.5" size which is beyond the Endurance or Maxxis size tires...so those are not an option.
I have Goodyear G114 on my trailer, so far no issues after @ 8000 miles.
FYI Jayco's Fifth wheels are now coming with a new Uniroyal 17.5" tire...so that is another option. Goodyear had production problems after covid...so I think that is why they switched.

Lot of tire companies have jumped on the G, and H rated RV tires in recent years , and as said IMO the Sailun are the best .

I have heard nothing but stellar reports on the Sailun, but all I can think of is what will happen after a tire blow out with RV damage ?? Will they stand up like Goodyear has done to folks in the past?
I am running GY G114's now, but was trying to NOT spend $425 per tire.. working off retirement budget now

IMO Goodyear had to step up , they were tearing up too many RV’s . ?? No doubt I’m sure some Sailuns have come apart , but it’s rare . I’ve never worried about tire damage or any other damage for that matter , that’s what I pay the insurance company all that money to cover that stuff.

Agreed, BUT just hate the fact that a simple tire shredding could cause so much $$$ damage .. To me, Sailuns just seam too new to judge just yet?? Perhaps I am over thinking it?

I am due to replace my tires after this season.... They are dated 3018.. I am running the G114's also and plan to just order them again as I have had no issues to date.
Unless someone van give me a great argument to go Sailun

They've been out and popular for at, or over, 10 years. That's not exactly brand new. I bought my first set in 2013. Those tires were still on the trailer when I sold it in 2021.

The great argument , a better tire , less expensive, and rare that you read a failure . Saliun has a much better track record than Goodyear by far .
