Having just bought 4x 225/75/15 Endurance from Discount Tire for $468 shipped to my door I have to call BS on the 50-100% more part.

I don't know; just pulled up DT and the Carlisle Radial HD is $99; the Endurance is $145 - almost 50% and certainly not apples to apples. I will say that the Endurance prices are coming down. When I looked into them they were double the price of the Carlisles I put on my trailer. I figure they figured out that the huge price difference was a big deterrent to sales.

Don't forget; Carlisle gets a sizeable tariff relief and the GY Endurance does not. It may not make-up the large disparity between the price of same sized tires. American made always seems to be more expensive.

If you have the cash, going with LT Load E is a great way to go. If I had a nice trailer, that is exactly what I would do. Michelin Tires are very good. Perhaps not the very best, but the best for the money.

I don't know of an LT tire in the 14" or 15" wheel sizes that has the carrying capacity to support nearly any of the trailers using those wheel sizes and going up in wheel size to 16" or 18" wheels (so LT tires would have the capacity to carry the trailer weight) puts the diameter of the tire "hitting the wheelwells on the trailer". LT tires are not rated to carry as much weight as ST tires, so in "reality" what you're doing is "going down several hundred pounds in weight capacity when you try that "old world scheme"....

LT = light truck not heavy trailer. Even the HT on the Michelin LTs means highway tread not heavy trailer.

Part of your decision will depend on the size of the tire you have currently. If it is a ST225/75R15 then Carlisle Radial HT or Goodyear Endurance are good choices. Some go with Maxxis 8008 was once a popular brand but not heard much in the past year or two. Get load range E. If you have a 16" rim, then Sailun or the others previously mentioned will be good choices.

I agree with the above recommendations.
Mine being 14 inch on a 13 Passport RK 3100.
I Went up one size & load range as clearance was no issue. My wheels are rated for the increase in air pressure.
I went with Goodyear ENDURANCE.

Two of my chinese tires on my 2018 Passport became deformed and blew out from the inside. I replaced them with Goodyear Endurance tires. They don't like you complaining about the Chinese tires they put on Keystone travel trailers on this site.

Seriously? I can't recall anyone endorsing Trailer King tires. As for tires manufactured in China or SE Asia you need to be more specific with brand as some brands from that region are reportedly problematic and some are not.

I agree, there are those who really like the Sailuns. I do not care for China made tires. I only run Goodyears on the RV and Michelins on the Truck. Goodyear had issue's when they had China made tires. The RV industry uses the cheapest tires possible. Good luck with your choice.
We will be going to the RV show in Tampa if they have it again. I will look to see who is putting Sailuns on their RV's.
Happy trails.

I have a thread on this site explaining the whole ordeal I had with two Chinese tires that blew out (belt failure) after only three years. I was cited with an infraction for "trolling" and that was not my intent. Please find the post. "They" closed the thread. I posted pictures. It was all truthful and no fault of mine that the tires failed.

I received and infraction for "trolling" when I explained the ordeal. Trolling was not my intent. My only intent was to advise RV owners about poor quality Chinese made tires. Please find my original thread. It has been closed. I explained everything with photos.

[QUOTE=lcarver02;451972]The issues with Trailer King Tires and poor quality / premature failure are so common....."
I will avoid Trailer King tires like the plague. Two of mine blew out from the inside. The belts failed after only 3 years. One was the spare never used on the road. All were properly inflated before trips. After the second one deformed I changed all to Goodyear Endurance on my Passport travel trailer.
