Boar Tire and Wheel.
Anyone tried out a set of 19.5" wheels and tires from Boar yet?
I'm wondering if this is a better set up than the current 16" wheels and tires (Sailuns). Or even better than some of the 17/5" tires are talking about. The best part seems to be that they can fit on existing drums/hubs.

Is there a problem with the Sailun tires I've not heard of? Seems like a pretty expensive option for 8,000 lb. axles. IMO anyway.
I ran Sailun tires for 6 years and they still worked great, and looked good.Howard and Peggy

I'm thinking you might have clearance issues (both to the underside of the trailer and between the tires themselves) with a 19.5" setup. I also think the Sailuns are one of the best tires you can run.

Over on the Montana site folks (maybe 2 or 3) are reporting newly purchases Sailuns are having failures. Apparently Sailun moved their manufacturing from China to Vietnam (import tax avoidance issue I suppose), and the tires having the issues are made in Vietnam.
That got me thinking of alternatives - 17.5" (which require different hubs/drums I think because of bolt size and pattern) and even got me thinking of those 19/5" wheel/tires.
In the end, I would probably just replace my current with more Sailuns when needed. I'm just checking around in case alternatives are needed.
I put a sticky in this Tire sub-forum and so far no one here has reported any Sailun problems.
The attractive part of those 19.5" Boar tire/wheel combinations is that they are maybe 1/2" to 3/4" taller than the current 16" tire/wheel combinations AND they fit the existing hubs/drums. Their profile (225) keeps them with almost the same diameter as the 16" tires. The unattractive part of those Boar tires/wheel is the cost! Yikes!Larry KE4DMG
