That site has an "almost constant thread discussion" about airing down tires based on trailer/axle weight vs running at the tire manufacturer's recommended maximum pressures. On the Sailun LRG tires, the recommended pressure is 110PSI.

I wonder how many of those "Sailun tire failures" are a result of people "experimenting with tire pressure to improve the ride" ???

I often just "shake my head" when I read about someone with a trailer equipped with OEM LRD tires that "upgrades to LRE tires" and then runs them at 65 PSI because they don't want to deal with damage from a rough ride caused by 80 PSI in the tires that are "too hard".

Anyway, it would be interesting to see "the rest of the story" about why those Sailun's are failing.....
