Replace my China Bombs
I have a 2020 Reflection 303RLS that came with Westlake 235/80 R16 E rated Tires.
I am thinking Sailun 637 G rated or Goodyear Endurance E rated.
1 Which ones?

Actually I have had many trailers in my lifetime and I never had a tire failure. I did have 2 bearings go on my last trailer an 2018 Imagine 2250RK.
It's just all this talk about Westlake E rated tires that has me nervous. So for peace of mind I am going to replace my 235/80 R16 WestlakesMal & Helen

I had two Westlakes China Bombs blow up on my little 8 foot cargo trailer several years ago. These were new tires that replaced a couple of 10 year old Carlisle. They came on new galvanized rims and I just swapped out the old rims and tires for the new, and put one of the old rim/tire sets on the trailer as a spare. Just carrying a couple of lawn mowers and well within the trailer's and tires' load rating both of the new Westies blew within a week. The first one blew and I put on the old spare, then the second blew a few days later and I put the second old tire back on. The Carlisles were maybe 10 years old.
I don't know whether all off brand tires from China are bad news, but I can say for sure that every time I've tried off brand tires they've had problems. Latest example: the Turkish "Waterfall" branded tires that got tossed in the garbage this fall. They were on the car for two years and vibrated from day one.Last edited by Dadeo6472; 03-16-2022 at 06:17 PM.

From all post I have read either tire would be fine. I guess it gets down to price and availability of tires. Think Goodyear may have rebate going on now. Good decision in replacing China Bombs; you can't do it quick enough in my opinion.

I would think a "G" rated tire would ride pretty rough on a 303 RLS which is only rated at 12,000 lbs. I replaced my Westlakes after 15 k milesvwith Goodyear Endurance tires. Check out Discount Tire for pricing.
