    Know its way to late if these are not good tires. Ordered 2 that will be here Monday. Had a blowout and needed a replacement. So ordered a pair of these, replacing 18 ply tires that's getting past there prime. Tires still look good, but there 10 years old. So got 2 of the Sailun's to put on. If there good will replace the rest with them. Or just buy a different brand.
    Bought the Trailer and price reflected replacing the tires, stepdeck with 17.5's.May find out I should have went with one with 22.5's. But wanted one as low as I could get.

    Hey Pete, I don't have any 1st hand with the S637, but I've heard they are pretty decent. Lots of guys run s637t in 235/80r16, & those reviews are mostly positive. Will be looking at them when the time comes..

    I did have enough faith in the Sailun brand that I'm running the 605 EFT on my steer. :eek: Only about 40k miles on them but no goofy wear, no spin balance, only running bead packs in them. Roll out smooth..

    I run the same size as you on my wagon, but it came with Continental's HTL2. Seem good so far, but have less than 40k miles on them too. My opinion, 3 things to keep 16", or 17.5's alive in the heat of the summer, regardless of brand..
    -1 is to run slower. When the mercury pushes past 85°, & sun is scorch'n the pavement, I roll 65-66mph max when loaded. Sun down, I'll open her back up to 70mph if I need too.
    -2 always keep them suckers at max psi. 125psi for me..
    -3 do your best not to hop over curbs with them. Personally, I'll ease my tractor over a curb to keep the wagon from having to bump one..

    Hope the sailun's do you well sir.. :thumbup:

    Oh yeah, date codes at 10 years old are pushing it for commercial use. Really need to get them all out of there before you get into trouble..
    Edit
    I can't seem to find the actual regulation for age limit but I'll keep looking..

    Thanks and yes I don't like them over 5 years old. Guy put new tires on this wagon. And only put 10K on it, then parked it. He was not going to sell the trailer. But his heath did not improve, so I got it from him.
    May have screwed up today. Guy may be showing up to take it home with him. I priced it where he would not take it, I though! But if he shows up with the cash. Its his, can't turn down double what I paid for it.
    Have a Gooseneck trailer with 12K alxes and single 17.5's under it 18 Ply. So if he buys the drop deck, will toss the 2 new tires on the rear of it.

    I run hankook TH22 17.5 tires. They wear like iron and are worth the extra money.

    Everyone hates these tires, I can't stress it enough, ALUMINUM WHEELS are a must for them an absolute MUST. I love 17.5 tires, they do cost more to maintain and loves good grease.
