I have the Arisuns on my Fuzion 420. Bought it in Sept 2015, 2016 model year. Have run over 12,900 miles the past 2 yrs 9 months. Tires are wearing great. Never had an issue. I use a TPMS on them and they are filled to the 110 lbs of air. I did get a nail in one and had it patched from the inside and it’s doing fine 2,000 miles later. Spare has never been used.

I have the Sailuns on our Carbon, I'd buy them again in a heartbeat. Just handling the unmounted tires I could tell a vast difference in quality between the Sailuns and the LRE "Trailer Kings" that came stock. I run them at 90psi (trailer placard specifies min 80 psi) for extra load capacity while still compliant enough for a smooth ride.

Nothing wrong with those G rated Airsun tires. All the hype about Chinese tires is hype. What matters... I think is an under rated tire for the load being towed, under inflated, and towing too fast...

The exception for me is .... Trailer King ST or Towmax ST... wouldn’t use on my wheel barrow.

I run a Chinese Geo Star G rated 14 tire on my Alpine. 235/85x16 at 110 psi cold. Tow at 62.

On my fourth season and I have no issues nor do I have any worries.

Down the road when I need to replace I’m either staying with my current Chinese tires or gonna use the Chinese Sailun G rated tires. Either is remarkably superb to anything that Trailer King builds.

Arisuns tires

I have the Arisuns tires on my Fuzion. Have been to Pennsylvania and Florida with no problems. But will give a good test on these tires when I travel to California and then to Florida for the winter. I will let the Forum know how they hold up.
What tire pressure are most of you running in these tires? I keep the weight down and always have it weighed at a truck scale; usually at a Pilot.

Arisuns seemed to be ok, until they bent my axle

I had Arisuns on my 2015 Fuzion 345. I had probably around 12k pounds total on both axles and had to make a tight turn in a campground. A few hundred miles later back home, I noticed one tire had lots of cord showing on one edge. After a few measurments, found the axle was bent on that one side. The Arisuns tires have very hard sidewalls and don't flex in the tight turns, and I'm convinced that this is why that axle bent. Replaced the one axle and want to Sailuns. I'm lucky that tire didn't have a blow out.

I have been from Georgia to California and back, with our winter stay now in Florida. My Arisuns tires show no problems what so ever. I use a TPMS and set the tire to 100 psi. I set my speed at 65 mph. Once again, no problems. These are the best tires I have had, and I have been RVing for over 20 years.

I am looking to replace my Oem tires arisun. I every body say I need G rated but with 7000lbs axles the good e rated is 3640, and steel belted construction will many of the Chinese g rated are nylon belt and still on have 3640lbs rating?????

CN someone explain why I need G if the E has the same load capacity. From my research load capacities have a min and a max and many over lap

Size for size, no E rated tire(max 80 PSI inflation) will have the same weight rating of a LRG tire (max 110 PSI inflation) in the same size.

This is just an observation comment.

The TRA is the authority for tire load capacity standardizations.

My observation of the lower picture in post #21 displays the materials of a steel cased ST tire, size ST235/85R16 LRG. The TRA standard load capacity for that tire is 4400# @ 110 PSI. The one in the picture is depicting the load capacity of a ST235/80R16 LRG, tire of that size (4080#). Somewhere, there is a rat in that nest.

Is there anything that says a manufacturer can not label a tire at a lower rating than what other manufacturer do?

The 129/125L on the sidewall matches up at 4079 single. You should be contacting them and finding out about that rat in the nest.

Not the same size but I'll bet we'll see them on new trailers that are built to allow for their 33" height and 10" section width.

Reading dynamics! Different size tire. I stated in the same size! ST235/80R16 and ST255/85R16 are different sizes. Chris

It's my understanding the tire manufacturer can build a tire to lower or higher specs but must inform NHTSA they are doing so.


It's being displayed on the sidewall as a steel cased tire with a load capacity of another closely related steel cased tire. To me it's a colored flag of some sort. But, as I said, it's just my observation. Were it my tire I'd demand verification from it's manufacturer. Tires are often recalled because they were built from the wrong mold which does not match their standardized specifications.

I'm running Super Cargo SC126 Commercial ST235/85/16 Radial Tires 14 ply that also have a 4080 lb load capacity. Are you saying that the load should be higher?

Are they steel cased? I'm pretty sure that the early tires of that size were polyester and had the lower load capacity.


It's not uncommon for ST tire manufacturers to differ with their load capacities with the same size tires. The ST235/80R16 LRE is a prime example. They were produced with load capacities or 3420#, 3500# & 3520# all at 80 PSI. The rule for that is for all load capacities to default to the lowest published load capacity unless the installer of those tires (vehicle manufacturer) documents them at the value on their sidewall. It must be made official by informing NHTSA.


If the designated tire size, ST235/85R16 LRG is being produced by manufacturers declaring different load capacities for them, it's going to create an administrative problem for trailer manufacturers using them on 8000# axles. Under FMVSS standards both load capacities (4080# & 4400#) qualify for fitment on 8000# axles. However, only the 4400# tire will provide the 10% load capacity reserves for fitment to 8000# vehicle manufacturer certified GAWRs. It appears that all members (about 98%) of the RVIA are complying with their 10% load capacity recommendation.

4 steel plies tread, 1 steel ply sidewall. Manufacture date is 2016. These are on my toy hauler (6 tires) so maybe 7000 lb. axles? Don't know if that makes a difference.

Snoking, it's just me; As one that follows this thread/forum constantly I wonder what the fascination is for you following CW? I think, maybe, you have something positive to contribute to the forum but, man, you seem obsessed with CW to me....to the detriment of everyone on the forum. As I've said in the past, CW puts out lots of good info, sometimes very detailed, but is very informational. You have made a few posts that are beneficial but generally you ghost CW and harass him. That's not cool to me. Do you have something of benefit for the members....on every post? Sorry, but I get so tired of the meaningless jabs at someone that only tries to help.
