Goodyear Rolls out Endurance Trailer Tire Line | RV Business

Nice find Steve. Maybe it's time to know there's a better domestic tire, to meet the problems associated with current supply.
Now, only time will tell.

 

I gotta tell you. Something has put the RV manufacturers and suppliers on notice. My hunch it is all the negative PR on the Internet. There is just a whole lot of chatter out there about consumer satisfaction, but there may be other factors that are not being made public.

My experience with goodyears trailer tires was that they held up way better than anything else I've purchased. One year I put tires on my 5ther I decided to go cheap.... I paid the price. I won't be doing that again.

 

It looks like those of us with load range G times will have to stick with the G614s.

 

interesting, I am getting near the point of replacing mine.


I have one summer left.

 

That is truly worth reading. I'm glad to see they are paying attention finally. OR they may have finally realized a niche that they could capitalize on as so many "Bombs" are failing. I'm also glad the RV industry is sitting up and taking notice . Maybe with as many complaints that have been filed, the government may have started an 'oversight' or at least threatened one. Either way, it looks as if it might be improving for customers.

 

it appears to me that you might be able to order off of tirerack.com.

 

Steve, thanks for a great tip! Maybe I'm nuts but I can't seem to find them on Goodyears website.

I have been going back and forth with what to do with my china tires as I enter into the 3rd year with them. Only 3k miles and I have tpms but don't want trouble either, especially when we head 600 miles to Maine this year.

Found them on tire rack for $149 in the 235/80r16 flavor though. I know I can get the Sailuns locally mounted for $184, but don't know about my rims, and don't have much height to get taller tires in there. These look like a great solution! I can probably get them installed locally for the $150 with a connection.

 

Bringing this back to the top. Any one heard anything more on the GY Endurance tires??

I pull a smaller 5'er with 15" tires. Currently GY Marathons made in USA @ 6 years old, but not many miles and had no problems. I was looking about replacing them due to age. (Opinions welcome)

I was looking at the Maxxis M8008 when I stumbled on GY Endurance. Need to look at wheel rating for max PSI. Endurance says 80 psi tire pressure.

 

You will have to look at your rims to be sure you can run them.

 

As soon as they go to 17.5" tires with a load range G or H then I will take a look at them.
It is a great option now for trailers with 15 and 16" wheels.

Its about time Goodyear woke up. Their old G114 16" tires, IMHO, were worthless. I had a blowout with one that caused 6K in damage. They did step up and pay for the damage but the tire was inferior for use on trailers.

Speaking of trailer tires my 2012 Jayco currently has a set of Goodyear Marathon ST235/80R16 10E on it. I have not had any issues, but have not hauled it that much, but has been sitting. I have heard/read of many complaints on these Chinese made tires failing. Do you think it would be prudent to replace them with a set of these new Endurance (USA Made) tires.

 

Yes, your tires are 5-6 years old. I'd replace them.
