I was lucky to get S637's on our new raptor. I was going to purchase them and ship them to Camping World to have them swapped on before taking delivery.
I too have a question about lug nut torque? Any ideas? Raptor 352ts.

Not 100% sure but I think 110-120 lbs and use a criss cross pattern.

I don't know what Lippert recommends, but IIRC Dexter was about 110 max on 1/2" studs. 140 is far too tight unless you have 9/16 studs. The sticker on my trailer from new said 110. I'm going to aim for about 105. Installing my new Sailuns Saturday.

Tire guy recommended 160! I thought he was nuts so I set mine at 120 with 100psi. I'm thinking of putting nitro in them mainly for consistent pressure. I was pleasantly surprised that when I rotated my tires on my car that were installed from Costco with nitro that all the pressures were exactly where they were set 6 months ago.

That's what I saw online when I recently did my hub and tire upgrades, 1/2" studs and 110 ft/lbs. I'm running 95 PSI in my Sailuns on an 11K TT.

That stated pressure is the cold fill point and the manufacturer takes into account the temp rise during use. You can fill it to what it states and not worry.

I assume you are a proponent of the new Goodyear tires that recently came onto the market?

True, the Sailuns are made in China, but they do come from an ISO compliant facility, so quality and quality control should be in the top tier. That is not the case with most of the typical China Bomb ST tires. They are actually commercial all position all steel tires relabeled as STs for this market and towable RV service. They have earned a pretty good reputation with RVers over the past few years.
