Greetings everyone,
Like many on here I had numerous problems with tires blowing out prematurely. I tried multiple brands and with little or no help. Fustrated i move up from E load rating to Sailun 637's (G load rating I believe). Well first off let me say the Sailuns are AWESOME, truly unbelievable tires. I have a little over 2,000 miles on them and they still look new. On top of that I just torture tested them (see link below).

I messed up and got into a parking lot with no way out. I'm lucky enough to have a tow vehicle that can turn sharper than an 2500 on the market today. Using the incredible turning ability to my TV I cranked the camper around in the parking lot and made it out. That was nice but in the process I bent the heck out of my suspension.
What I find truly amazing is that the tires seem to have suffered NO damage. The tires literally gripped the ground and side walls were so tough that the steel suspension hangers gave out first.
In the end please learn from my painful lesson:
1) DO NOT crank your camper around so tightly in a turn as to force your tires to skid across the ground, especially if you are on payment or concrete.
2) If you do #1 above I would suggest that it may be the cause of your tires growing ripples in the side wall and blowing out much sooner than you feel they should. Putting this kind of pressure or force on your tires is very bad for their life expectancy.
3) If your tires are actually strong enough to survive such a torture test . . . well your suspension may not be.
Just a word of advise from the newly educated ;-)
