Trailer King Tire Woes

[Camping family]

I just replaced mine also with good year endurance 5 new ones with metal valve stems 1,000.00. Had the trailer kings since purchased no problems until last trip. 20 miles from home and blow out. Lucky no damage. Had maybe 2,000 miles on them. Always keep correct amount of air in them and always kept check on tpms.

Destroyed both fenders and propane gas line, I had to buy 2 tires just to finish the trip. I went to first Discount Tire and bought 5 and replaced all of them with Endurance which are probably the best on the market. Just completed a 9000 mile trip and never had to add air to them, I also use tire monitors. If you have tire king drive at your own risk.

I will agree the GY Endurance are building a very good reputation in their short life time! They are basically replacing the GY Marathons which were as big a piece of crap as any of the so called China Bombs!
But as far as best on the market? They are however the most expensive on the market, so if that makes them better, they are.
As for GYs replacement/repair warranty read the fine print. If you have a blowout with damage they aren't going to just send you a check until you've returned the tire carcass & as much of the remnants as possible for them to investigate whether it was a defective tire or user abuse BEFORE any reimbursement is paid.
I have no experience with the Endurance, I had GY 16" G rated 614s on my last 5er that were very good tires, but at replacement time I was able to upgrade to Sailun H rated 17.5" tires with near identical wheels as the originals for less than the price of 3 of the GY tires alone & was very satisfied with those.
On previous TTs I used Carlisle & Maxxis tires @ very reasonable prices & very good luck with both.

Perhaps Keystone feels the need to keep up with Grand Design.

When shopping for RV trailer tires you should pay attention to where the tires you seek are built. Those actually built in the USA are always going to be very high on the price list.

Almost all off-shore tires get a hefty tariff relief from the USA, even those with headquarters in the USA.

Even off-shore tires built in different countries may have substantial differences in price because of the tariffs. For instance, tires built in Taiwan may be more expensive than the same name brand built in Vietnam.
