Thanks very much for the info.We put a wet of Kumho tires on our Freightliner a few years ago and close to 6000 miles. Have had had no problems with them. They was around 300 a piece back then.

$350.00 Is very doable!
Yea, I believe some people think the big names items are always the best stuff. But, if you do your research and really talk to people who have been driving rigs for many years they will often times tell you about items that are better then the so called "name items" where you will pay alot less and get just as good of a product.Different class but I put Falkens on my MGB. They were a sport tire and I got poo-poo'd by the community. They are great tires. I've got like 6,000 miles on them. They are everything they were advertised to be. Very sticky, predictable sidewall in cornering, good in the wet.
The 670's ( all six) are what we have on our 35' georgetown and there isn't one of them that is round.... They thump from 52 to 58 MPH so I drive over the 58.. Usually around 60 to 63. Goodyear said that they would not do anything about it.... WILL NEVER buy Goodyear again...The Goodyear 670 RV Tires are the best I’ve had. Drove 10years before the first one peeled!
My Continentals did that the first drive outta the dealer. I turned around and went back. The guy told me to drive faster for an hour. I had been driving like 55 and they were thumping. He said the balance beads need to distribute better.The 670's ( all six) are what we have on our 35' georgetown and there isn't one of them that is round....

Don't those beads have to start balancing over every time you move the unit ?? Or do they stay positioned after they balance the tire?My Continentals did that the first drive outta the dealer.

I went back out and took the freeway out of town. an hour at 70 and they balanced right up.
Could be the balance beads never distributed right. Maybe you could get them dismounted and rebalance. Just a thought.
Not an expert but I think they take a set somehow. I could be wrong.Don't those beads have to start balancing over every time you move the unit ?? Or do they stay positioned after they balance the tire?
No. they are loose inside the tire and find a home once the tires start rolling, when stopped they will all fall to the bottom. I have see a wild video someone made with a Go Pro inside a tire with beads in it.Don't those beads have to start balancing over every time you move the unit ??

I bought Sailun Truck tires in 2017, before they became well-known in the lower 48. They were already a tried and true brand in Canada.Anyone have any experience with Sailun tires?
I'm not sure where you guys are shopping, but Tires-Easy_Truck have some better prices than what I've seen posted on here for less than $300-350 per tire...

I put Sailuns on my 14K 36ft 5W 3 years ago. There was a recall after the first year and they replaced all 5 for me, no cost so a year free. The last two years have been excellent, other than maintenance, a rotation and pressure check, they show no wear. We travel about 10K miles a year just returned from 2500 mile trip NM- AR- TX- NM.Anyone have any experience with Sailun tires?
