My 366FBT is getting the factory tires replaced with SAILUN S637. Fixing to put about 1000 miles on them so I wanted the factory's gone.  |

Good move. I put my bombs on Craigslist almost immediately and installed Goodyear Wrangler HT's. Just today my first problem was a pop rivet puncture requiring an internal patch. 22,000 miles and counting.

Don't blame you one bit. I also went and put the S637's on my 366FBT right out the gate. If anything the piece of mind knowing the S637's can handle the load. I also added a TPMS as my eyes for extra measure.
Congrats and safe travels

My question is, did you put nitrogen back in them or regular air, as I have posted before I think that nitrogen
to me is sort of a scam. They say it's heavier that air thus you do no loose air pressure like with regular air,
but if you check your tires daily while on the road I see know reason to have nitrogen in them. Also finding a
place that has nitrogen other than the RV dealer is pretty hard to find, out of three local tire national tire
shops in our area none have nitrogen ...

Since air is 80% nitrogen, just keep adding air as the other stuff leaks out. In time, you will have almost pure nitrogen. Just kidding of course, it is a scam.

I have the EEZ Tire monitoring system so I can keep track of pressure and temp. I think unless you put nitro in yourself you may just be paying them for green caps. I work in the HVAC industry and I know nitrogen is a very stable gas that isn't affected by temp like air. I've paid for nitrogen filled tires that fluctuated way too much for me to believe that it was truly filled with nitrogen. Just my 2 cents. - John |

John
Thank you for the reply, as I said I think like others it is a scam, Costco out here is the only one that has
nitrogen and they want $40 bucks to refile 4 tires from air to nitrogen. I check my tires on a regular
base's when out on the road, I did this when I was an over the road driver as well, I hate flat tires an the
wait along side the road to get one fixed or replaced ...
