The Goodyear Endurance tires are an excellent "E" rated tire but IMO, your RV is pretty heavy for "E" rated tires. I'd choose the Sailun S637 because of the weight of your RV.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the quick response! You have some very valid advise, especially the weight factor, and I may end up purchasing the Sailun tires. Plus I will save a few bucks doing so.Tim & Lori

Sailun Tires, made in China by a Chinese company. A cheap tire with soft rubber. I had a set that came with a used vehicle I purchased. They wondered and did not wear evenly. I am happy to support American Companies. My neighbor bought a set after a blow out with his original tires that occurred after three years and a few thousand miles. He seems to like them, but complained about his trailer not tracking straight over a grooved roadway.
I will stick with the big boys and happily support American Companies. There are plenty of them.

Load range
One issue to check when changing the load range is having to deal with a larger tire. Moving to a heavier load range tire on the Solitude meant going to a larger circumference tire. The tire shop said they would work but advised against it due to their size and clearance. Something to consider about the tire fitting and the honesty of the shop.

The Sailun S637 is an excellent tire with very heavy steel belt construction. I, too, would much rather support an American company with made in the USA tires. The problem is the primary US made G rated trailer tire is the Goodyear G614 and it only has a load index rating of 126 (3,748lbs). The 235/85R16 Sailun S637 has a load index rating of 132 (4,409lbs). That is a huge difference and the single reason why I bought the S637 tires for my last Solitude.
I used G614's on my lighter Reflection 5th wheel with good results but if I'm buying tires for my heavier Solitude, they will be S637's. Hopefully some day an American tire company will make a 16" trailer tire with a load index rating of 132. Until then, Sailun owns the market.Brian & Kellie

Adding to thread as I have been searching and am struggling to find the answer.
I just ordered 4 Sailun 637 G rated (235 80R16) for my 2020 31MB for install tomorrow. Have the E rated Westlakes on there now.
I am starting to think I read somewhere that the wheel may not support this tire. Do I remember that correctly?
And....where the heck is that Sailun pressure table posted? I have found one for their trucks but cannot seem to find the one that references the pressures for my tire size.
Sorry for asking about what is clearly already posted somewhere, but I cannot seem to find it.
