The GY Endurance trailer tires have a couple of features most other ST tires do not have. First is a nylon belt overlay and the second is sidewall scuff guard inserts.

ST tires are not mileage tires, they are age-out tires. Years ago the estimated mileage for ST tires was 3000 - 10000 miles or 3 - 5 years of service. The evolution of ST tire manufacturing and materials increased rapidly causing those figures to rise just as rapidly. However, there are no solid figures for mileage use or age-out time. The individual tire warranty package may give you a clue.
