Thanks I have the Sailuns. Generally travel 65-70 as that's the rpm sweet spot on my Dmax, about 1700 rpm. And yep I've exceeded that 75 mph rating more than once.

At our loads, the Sailuns are more than adequate for our speeds...even if you find lead in your boots every so often.

And I decided to stick around with the H's like everybody else. Decided I didn't want to reinvent the wheel. Ordering a set of Sailun from Ron this week.

They are 16 ply inflated to 120 psi. I also had Gs with 55-60k on them & it was very little more to upgrade to the Hs with Titan Guys deal than to just replace the Gs. I think Vaughn (Piper Guy) has put or thinking of putting Js on his RW, compared to the Hs they must be solid rubber.
Can you please identify your H tire manufacturer, part number?
Thanks!

This what I have on mine. Contact Ron aka Titan Guy on this forum as he has a great price on the wheels & tires & disc brakes installed + fantastic customer service.

We've got 60k+/- miles on our RW since the shackle/wet bolt upgrade & so far no problems. I've also upgraded to Titan disc brakes (thanks Ron, money well spent) & H rated tires & WOW what a difference, would HIGHLY recommend both of those.
Just returned to Arizona from a 3000-3500 mile trip to Washington & leave Thurs for another 3000 mile round trip to Texas & back.
As far as springs, if you have local shop they'd most likely be cheaper than a rv shop, if it says it's for a rv, or anything that's recreational, the price goes up. They could probably custom make you a set to account for the kitchen slide being heavier.
Hey travelin texans, don't mean to start an argument and I may have misunderstood something but the Sailun S637 is not an H rated tire, it is G. Please check this link:Sailun S637 Regional Trailer Tires in Ontario | Beverly Tire & Auto

The 17.5 Sailun is a 16 ply, H rated tire. You may have been looking at the 16, which is a G. Ron provides the 17.5 wheel/tire combo.

Titan Disc Break Part Number

Looking for part number(s) for the pads for Titan Disc Brakes. Would like to buy a ceramic set from my local parts store. I have a 38GK with 7000 lbs axles. Thanks for the help.
