    Somebody is spouting BS. I don't buy "no warranty on trailer tires" at all. You should push back hard on this.

    I tried to get in touch with Sailun customer service , but no luck yet. The other thing I should have considered , almost no stocking dealers on the Sailun.

    If it were me I certainly would look at them. I do all I can to avoid buying Chinese (Sailun) products (nothing against Chinese people, just the gov't). If I have to I will, but only if there are no other viable options. I have had no issues with N.A. Goodyear trailer tires.

    Goodyear are pretty much at the bottom of the list for me. Too much money.

    At this point it’s not about the money for me. I replaced tires that were less than two years old so I wouldn’t have to deal with this mess while traveling. Now , less than a year later , here I am.

    But more money doesn't guarantee you won't have issues. People have had problems with the Goodyear too. Not frequently, but they do happen.

They were ordered online from Walmart. We’re kinda in no man’s land in Texas at the moment. Contacted a Walmart in Amarillo. They said no warranty on trailer tires. Tomorrow’s another day.

    Very Disappointing!

    According to TBC Distributors Walmart is not an authorized distributor so not really surprised they will not warranty the tire.

    Have you tried this number for TBC? 1-800-926-8473 Hopefully they will help you.

    I am a little surprised the pressure is higher on a tread separation (if that is what's happening) since usually pressure goes down due to more volume inside the tire.

    So here’s a look at the failed tire. Looks like almost a full cap separation. Splits anywhere from 1/2” to 2” long in innermost groove. Smaller ones scattered in other grooves. Center of tread crowned all the way around.
    7080 miles on it.
