I have not used them yet but Goodyear makes a Endurance trailer tire. More expensive than the others though.I will most likely try them next time. Since most China tires don`t seem to last for me. More expensive is an understatement . Almost 3 times the $$$ the others Ive looked at I can get a 10 ply Carlisle brand locally for about $110 ea $89 ea on Priorty Tire and free delivery

I finally went back to Goodyear after using those crappy Marathon's for too long and too many blowouts. I quit for about 5 years until the Endurance came out, and I gave them a couple of years to make sure I didn't hear any horror stories. Used Carlisle's for years before Marathons until they started falling apart. Did typical Chinesium tires for a few years, they were OK but they did not last long. Got Endurance on my enclosed trailer now and they have been flawless, but I have not had them on long so don't know longevity as of yet... BTW, Discount Tire is where I got my Goodyears at, and they are more expensive than what they used to sell Goodride at $110 each while Endurance were $200 each...

The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Only trailer tires I’ve blown were china junk. Have Goodyears on the travel trailer now. Will be going back with them when they age out. I’ve never been disappointed when spending extra on tires, but I’ve been pretty aggravated or left a bad hand to deal with when cheap ones were left on what I bought. Or in days of yore when I made the mistake.

What size axles and how many lug bolts wheels does our trailer have on it. Is it enclosed or an open trailer?

Don't cheap out.
There's lots of overseas junk out there and a failure can be a catastrophe.

I've run light truck tires on my car trailer for over 30 years without an incident. Tandem 3500# Dexters with five on 4 1/2 rims.

Don't cheap out.
There's lots of overseas junk out there and a failure can be a catastrophe. Yep, don't cheap out. Figure it this way if one of those $80 Pacific Rim tires blows out you will have to replace it with another $80 PR cheap tire and then you are in it for more than the price of one Goodyear MADE IN THE USA Endurance trailer specific tire. Hopefully when the PR cheapo tires blows it doesn't cause damage to the wheel/rim or the trailer and it happens to blow in a safe place and conditions. Then add in the time and money (if you don't have a spare) that it will take to fix the situation on the side of the road. I dragged a 26' foot trailer around the USA for several decades and got tired of the company cheaping out on trailer tires. Installed either Goodyear or Michelin tires and little to no, none, zip issues from there on out. DON'T CHEAP OUT, not worth the initial money saving and will cost you more in downtime and safety. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/Spec.jsp?tireMake=Goodyear&tireModel=Endurance&isSEO=true (check at the bottom of each listing "Country of Origin USA". If you do ever have a problem then you can't say you didn't do the best you could.

Bought a set of Goodyear Endurance for my trailer last year after reading good reviews - no problems to report. I too got a set of Goodyear Endurance tires for my 24ft enclosed trailer. I got them on the recommendation of another racer. I got them through Discount Tire. So far they have been fine. One thing I noticed was that they seemed to be heavier than the tires I have used in the past and have a higher inflation pressure (70 PSI).

I've run light truck tires on my car trailer for over 30 years without an incident. Tandem 3500# Dexters with five on 4 1/2 rims. This works, remember to take 11% off the load rating when running LT tires. Heat builds up when running on a trailer. The sidewall flexes on LT so you don’t get beat to death. ST tires have stiffer sidewalls to carry loads.
