Well it looks like Sailun is not making the 14 ply and now only making a 16 ply. Question I have is my rims on my 310rl are only rated for 110psi not 120psi. Looks like the Hercules 901st has changed and is not the same as the H901, now a strong guard version. Hankook th31 I’m not real sure of, bead cracking around rim on some review's. Having the hardest time figuring out which tire to get. Any help would be appreciated.

I couldn't locate the Sailun Inflation/Load Chart for that tire. I'm wondering if you can run that tire at 110 on your rig and meet your load bearing requirements. Maybe email them to see if it will work.

Well this is what they sent me.

We are in rece ipt of your inquiry. We are a wholesale tire distributor of multiple brands of tires, not a tire manufacturer, and we create dedicated websites for each of the brands of tires we distribute; we distribute the Sailun brand of tires in the USA. The majority of tire manufactures only provide us with the maximum psi and load a tire can hold; since a particular tire can be installed in multiple applications, each with varying weights, it is up to the manufacturer of said application to determine recommended psi for the optimum performance of the after-market tire.

Having said that, and in an effort to better serve you, I am attaching a load inflation chart created by the Tire & Rim Association Yearbook that although only goes to load range G, will provide you with an idea of what the max load would be for your tires if you keep the psi at 110.IMG_7876.png

I just brought the Sailun G Rating, only going put 110 psi, in, max is 120 psi.

Load Rating at 120 psi is 4540lbs, at 110 psi, at around 4100lbs,

Not on this unit.

I had a blowout 3 years ago, the shop I got new tires at, did nothing but RV's, Class A, B, C, 5th wheels, TT.

I had the same concern about the max pressure of the rim, that RV rim was rated max 110, the tires he installed was 110 psi, but told me to run them at 100 psi. Never had a problem in 7000 miles

The TT I had the Sailuns on scaled at 12/13K lbs on 7K axels and I ran the tires at 95 PSI vs the 110 max rating, 80K miles on that TT when we traded for our Alliance.

Curious here because I do not know…..what do you suppose would fail on a wheel with tire inflated 10psi over? Bead Seat area?
