I agree, for me, the $800 price to replace the tires "trumps" the $8000 price to rebuild a wheelwell....

That said, I believe the Sailun ST tires are "all steel" construction, so they may have a different "survivability" that's better than the polyester cord ST tires in the "conventional load ranges from C to E"... But, on the other hand, the UV degredation of the rubber, the ozone degredation from being exposed to ozone, the loss of lubrication within the rubber from sitting without the sidewalls flexing are all very similar between "all steel tires" and "ST polyester cord tires"...

If it were me, I'd feel much better with new tires on the trailer for a trip that long.
