Yes, starting my second year with them. I still love them! Great tire! I think we put around 4000-6000 miles on them. I can't remember exactly without looking at my log. But they are worth ever penny.

Shov, you don't say much about your self as far as location, but our Sailun's were bought at Tire Kingdom in Fort Myers (Lehigh Acres Store) four weeks ago. Four tires mounted AND balanced, and steel valve stems, $702.00. I don't believe that is a particular bargain, I think that is just what they charge.

They can be tricky to find. I live in Kentucky near Cincinnati, OH. I called big O tires, checked online. I ended up calling the Manufacturer then they gave me a distributer's number. Called them and found a retailer in my area. Ended up being Bob Sumerel tires. When I called them the guy said we don't sell those. Then I explained his distribution center said he did. He laughed and said well I'll call them and call you back. He called back and said we'll we can get them. But this is the first time we sold them lol

Sorry about my lack of location. Great Falls MT here. Called the local Big O Tire and was given a quote of around $220.00 per tire with metal valve, installed mounted and balanced. that sure seams high compared to what others are spending. So, I am on the hunt now for the Sailun at a fair price. I happen to run into my regular tire guy last night and he was going to check and see what he can do.

I think with tax I paid around $190 a tire. I mounted and balanced them myself. So that wasn't included in that price.

I bought mine a couple months ago. Big O is the re-seller around here. The first one I went in and got a quite of somewhere around $190 a tire not including mount & balance. I called another one 7 miles away and got a quote of $155 a tire. I had him double check the size thinking he was looking at the wrong one. When he said it was all correct I couldn't say yes fast enough and told him I would be down the next day.

The first store had never heard of the tires, while the second one was familiar with them and knew they were good tires and even had a guy that runs a heavy service truck and uses them on the truck.

SW342,

Interesting that there is such a price difference within a few miles. I guess it pays off to shop around a bit.

Anyone else running the Sailun's?

I was surprised there would be that much of a difference. i wasn't even going to call because I figured it would not be worth it. I am glad I took the 5 minutes to find out. It save me a couple bucks.

shov · 03-20-2015, 01:17 PM

Locally so far I have prices of $221 and $250 mounted and balanced. Online I have found the for $155 with free shipping.

So far so good with the Sailuns on our 371...kind of skeptical at first but found out they are pretty good tires. Only have about 2000 miles on them so far.

shov · 03-22-2015, 06:52 AM

on line seems like the logical choice so far

If those are the quotes you are getting I would tend to agree.

So depending on where you get it shipped to its $175 a tire or more. They are making some money on shipping, so they lower the price of the tire a bit to make it attractive.

shov · 03-24-2015, 08:19 AM

It appears so. However it's still less expensive than the $221 locally

Replaced our GY Marathons with Sailuns at Big O in Sedona. Just over $200 each but the GYs were on their last legs so I did not do any shopping around. Have not pulled them yet but the rims on the Montana are rated for 110 psi. I have them inflated at 80 psi now as per Keystone's instructions but may raise that when we get ready for the next adventure.

shov · 03-26-2015, 07:25 PM

So could you tell a difference in the heftiness of the Sailuns compared to the GY's?

Sailun 637 G rated 14 ply tires. 235x85x16

bobbecky · 03-29-2015, 08:56 PM

Barbell-Run them at 100 to 110 psi. You will only have the same weight capacity of the Marathons at 80 psi. We run our G614's at 110 psi and the handling is vastly improved over the Marathons. We have around 20,000 miles on this set and they are wearing great. I would have put the Sailuns on, but we needed tires right away, so went with the Goodyears.
