    Sailun tires

    I’m considering getting Sailuns for my 2019 311BHS, I’m unsure if the rims are rated for the 110psi.

    Tried calling Lionshead, but they’re closed. Does anyone know the psi answer?

    Thanks

    I can't speak specifically to your model but both our 2016 Reflection 318RST and our 2019 Solitude 373FB-R have 16" wheels rated for 123psi according to Grand Design. I suspect your Reflection 311BHS would be the same but that's just a guess on my part.

    I put Goodyear G614's on the Reflection and Sailun S637's on our Solitude. Both worked fine.

    Just make sure you have metal valve stems.

    Yep, got that already. I have Ford’s trailer TPMS system and those are metal valve stem’s.

    You may want to check to make sure the Ford TPMS stems will fit your wheels. I think my wheels have .625 valve stem holes and the Ford stems are .453. Most folks here that are using the Ford TPMS system bought aftermarket valve stems from Nichols Manufacturing:

    You remove the TPMS sensors from the Ford valve stems and screw them onto the larger Nichols stems. There are a couple of threads here on the forum discussing this. Here's one:

    I just had Sailun 235/85R16's put on my Reflection 28BH. I used Xtra Seal Bolt-In Valve Stems. They fit 5/8" rim holes. Got mine from O'Reilly's for $2.50 each. Part number 17-428. Line XTS.

    Make sure that you tighten the outside nut the next day. The inside seal on mine compressed causing the nut to loosen up. One tire leaked air until I tightened it. Other than that, they worked perfect.

    They are currently mounted on my trailer, so no issues. Thanks
