Exactly what I did earlier this year except they shipped Fed Ex to my house at a reduced rate.
I'm in Florida and have logged 6800 miles on my Sailun tires with no problems or visible wear. I went with the 235/85-16 and they're still at 110psi. When parked, I do not cover the tires. As a consumable product with similar usage life and 1/2 the cost of the Goodyear G tires, its a no-brainer.
Camp On!

The bridgestone Duravis 250 is a really nice tire for heavy trailers. I have one as a spare for my trailer. I would have bought them when I switched to 16"s but I didn't know how that they were such a robust tire. One tire weighs almost as much as my stock 15in wheel and tire together.

By the way,what's the average psi you guys run? I haven't been able to find an inflation chart for these tires online.

Good move. You won't be disappointed. I always run mine at 110 psi

I put S637's on a year ago and have about 7500mi on them. No problems except they are very stiff so the trailer gets more of the road transmitted to it. I'm @ 110psi now but plan to lower it to 100 when we travel this winter to see if I can reduce the bouncing of stuff in the trailer. It was bad enough that it broke the construction screws that held the couch sections together and to the slideout wall.

Ouch! What kind of camper do you have and how much does it weigh on the axles?

We air cold to 90#'s....ALL tires will heat up going down the road and ours heat up tp 100#'s usually...just where we want the pressure.

My Sailuns arrived today. Very beefy looking tire. Somewhat puzzled though, this is an LT tire,doesn't have the st designation on it nor is it the 637T,but it plainly says "for trailer service only" on the side of the tire. So is it really an LT tire or not? Apparently not! BTW,I saw a heavy utility trailer a couple days ago,carries a smaller excavator and tunneling equiptment and noticed that it had S637's on it. That is definitely reassuring as those trailers have a lot of weight on them and are used in pretty harsh environments.
