Tire replacement

Anyone out there using Goodyear Endurance rv specific tires? Are you happy with the purchase? I am in the process of replacing my “China bombs”which have held up good but the tread is getting near the end and they are 3 years old.

You didn't identify your trailer. If it's a pre 2016 model you should go up - if available - one load range. Most of the tires on Keystone trailers prior to 2016 did not have much, if any, load capacity reserves.

IMO the best feature of the GY Endurance trailer tires is the addition of sidewall scuff guard protection.

The Goodyears Endurance tires I am looking at are ST225/75 R 15E, XLoad 80 psi and 140 km/hr speed rating. Just wondering if anyone out there is using these. My TT is a 2018 Bullet Crossfire 18’ single axle.

I have been running Goodyear Endurance for about a year and a half. Probably 6k miles on them. I am very happy with them and the scuffguard on the sidewall is great. It makes them seem very stout. As CW said, I went up one load range from C to D.

Your GY LRE tires are speed rated at 87 MPH max.

I went to the LR D tires from C. I run about 75psi in them, as the rims are rated for 80psi (original rims). I've had them for 2 years now. About 11,000 miles. No complaints.

I didn't realize you could run LRD over 65 psi. Looking at the chart CW linked above the LRD top out at 65 psi also.

What's the advantage of running at the higher initial pressure? (I recognize the pressure will increase during operation.)

Thanks.

The maximum inflation pressure for your LRD tires is 65 PSI. 75 PSI is a classic example of 10 PSI over inflation.

A 10 PSI cold increase above sidewall max does not increase the tire's maximum load capacity.

Tires are built to offset normal thermal expansion. The engineering of the tire allows that expansion.

You shouldn't be running 75psi cold pressure. Also rubber valve stems are only rated to 65 psi. You need solid core valve stems which are rated to 80 psi.

I think you need to rethink your inflation on the tires. I upgraded from LRD to LRE (65 psi to 80 psi) because my wheels were rated for it....and the new valve stems. You said you've had good luck, and I'm thankful. Max pressure on the sidewall means exactly that whether it explodes while you inflate it, when you hit the next pothole or patiently waits until...?.

I’m using the Goodyear tires and like them very much. They hold air better than the China bombs did.. I went up a size from 205 to 215. Trailer seems to track better because of stiffer sidewalls

The appearance of stiffer sidewalls is because GY added "scuff guard" protection.

Ummm.. Ok, I made a big mistake... I should have said I went from C to E. Yes, I know not to overinflate a tire. And I did have the metal valve stems installed when I did it.

Everybody settle down now, and go back to your cabin fever mode! At least it gave people something to do!

I don't think it's a matter of "settling down". Folks are just trying to help. We're all human, we all make mistakes and most of the people here are just trying to help.

Just FYI! From C rated to E rated is actually up 2 sizes.
Now back to my regularly scheduled daily boredom, but I'm safe (maybe).

Just curious and maybe someone considering doing this would be helped by knowing what make and size tire you went with. Thanks.

Your 3500# axles may not be very receptive for the tires maximum coverage of 5660# per axle. Probably a little excessive for those axles and suspension package. Shocks may help if you don't already have them. If you do have them you might consider replacement with some rated for heavy duty.

LRE tires are overkill for that trailer. I can see going up one load range. YMMV
