Also consider Hartland tires from Discount Tire. I have them on two RVs, car hauler, and utility trailer. Been using them exclusively for every trailer for the past 6 years without an issue. Have also recommended them to several friends who are using them without any problems.

Goodyear still has a 20% discount on the Endurance if purchased directly through them. They shipped them to my nearest Just Tires for installation. OTD installed it was $545.53
Promo Code KOA-MEMBER20.

An ironic article. First they say best trailer tire then show the tire on a Class A of some sort.... I suspect anything this website has to say needs to be carefully considered! Goodyear Endurance didn't make the list at all. Guess who is in 2nd place?

Very interesting! ‘Some blowouts/failures’ as the only con item. Really.

Most publications use "stock pictures". So if the layout person sees a "insert tire picture here" they grab a picture of a tire as long as it fits in space they need to fill. As for their recommendation, well I've always been skeptical on that sort of thing. Even when I was very young I figured out that Motor Trend car of the year was the car that was advertised the most in the magazine.

There are many RV related blogs out there spewing digital flatulence that a forum like this is a better gauge of product or technique performance. So many folks have had TK issues that seems to me a person choosing TKs from an article like the one I posted is not exercising discretion or good jusdgement.

Some of those other brands? Where the heck did the writer come up with those? And no Endurance mentioned?

You have know who's writing the peice.when our oldest daughter was away a college she was writing (using several aliases) for several large publications for income. I would get all sorts of calls from her like " Dad, how do you install ceramic tile?" Or "How do you install a trench drain in front of a garage door". I would laugh thinking these folks have no idea that the picture of the " author" (some male model) didn't write the column but my 19 yr old girl did.

"Trench drain"? bwhahahahaha I think French drain sounds more appropriate. I hope you didn't tell that young kiddo of yours to put in a trench drain...

They will not support the weight of a ST tire in an equivalent size.

Based on blowouts of ST tires, maybe their weight rating is overstated! We run LT tires on our 5er.

The load carrying capacity is higher, ST sidewalls are typically stiffer to handle the scrubbing in tight turns whereas LTs a less stiffer to help improvethe ride & typically overall heavier, as far a weight, than LT tires.
LT = light truck, ST = special trailer.
DWs know it all BIL bought a used 5th wheel approximately 30-32' 10-12k lbs, 1st stop is at the local mom n pop farm store for brand new P235×15 tires inflated to 30 psi then is in shock when in about 30-40 miles he's blowing tires & can't understand why, P = passenger car tires. DW says aren't you gonna tell him.why & I said nope he's owned a rv for all.of 15 minutes & suddenly knows everything about them to hear him tell it.
IMHO whether LT, ST or whatever initials an E rated tire is not enough for a loaded 14-16k lb GVWR 5th wheel, Gs would/should be minimum. My .02 cents!!

Trailer tires age out, typically long before they wear out. With a 2018 rig the tires could have been manufactured in 2017. ST tires typically age out before 6 years. Some folks here on the forum replace them every 3 years, others every 5. Unfortunately they will not always show exterior defects before failing. I would replace all the tires (including the spare) with a quality tire. You'll get several opinions on what a "quality tire" is and lot will depend on what size tire it it.
