To the OP, the Endurance are new on the market so not a lot of real definite reviews, Carlisle, Maxxis, Sailun have very good track records, so skip all these 8 pages of BS & go buy the tires you want.

That's pretty much what I've done for about the same length of time.

To answr the OP. You usually get what you pay for. The G rated steel commercial tires have better construtionand more load capacity so can tolerate the stresses placed on tires due to unique suspension features. It generally taqkes about 4 years to get an indication of probably tire life and the Endurance are only 2+ so the good reports may or may not last. Your choice. We can't balance your tolerance for risk vs your bank account.

I am willing to any risk that could be involved with the new Goodyear Endurance for one simple reason. Goodyear is going to stand behind this tire and it's users 100 percent. They spent a lot of work on development of the tire and they will step up if issues arise, vs changing the name on the sidewall and continue producing the product like china bombs.

This very situation is evidenced by GY’s history with the Marathons.......really?

Goodyear has a history of building excellent tires. They also have a history of building "not to great" tires, some of which have been total disasters. What differentiates a company is how they handle their failures. Goodyear "did the right thing" by recalling all Marathon tires in the early '80's, but they then continued to make them, sell them and not recall the later problem batches. (China made Marathons). They have not yet completed any recall action on the Goodyear G159 tire line and this tire has been causing motorhome accidents as early as 1996.
So, is Goodyear going to be "upfront and pro-active" with the Endurance line? Which do you want to follow, their actions with early Marathons or their actions with later Marathons and the G159????
As stated elsewhere, it takes about 4 years to build a reliability pattern in a tire line. Endurance tires are 2 years old.... The jury is still out, early indications look good, but..... My question/concern is not with the tire, but with how Goodyear will handle any problems. Right now, it's simply too early to know what "the future holds".... The past is an indicator, but not the "rest of Paul Harvey's story".....

I wouldn't say 100%!!
I have friends that had damages due to GY tires blowing & got NO help from GY. There are too many "ifs" involved in their warranty, "if" you saved the blown carcass, "if" the dealer determined it wasn't over/underinflated, "if" GY determined it was a faulty tire & not road damage & "if" it happened on a day the didn't end in "Y"!

You need to check the wheels. If they are 8 lug it is possible if not.. nope..
If they are 8 lug then you can look on the back of the wheel and some times they stamp or emboss the pressure rating which will need to be 110 pounds.
