New Tires

[mhill260]

I know there have been a bunch of these tire posts and I apologize for adding one more, but I need some help with a decision. We make mostly short trips pretty close to home, 10-15 per season. We have a new 2507s with castle rocks that I want to replace. None of our trips are over 3-4 hours right now and I don't expect that to change a lot for another year or so. I want to replace the tires and I have gotten prices from my local tire dealer that Ive used for years. 5 endurance tires are almost $200 more than 5 Carlisle HD trails. I'm leaning towards the Carlisles because I think they are good tires and I can save money without really compromising. Just thought I'd ask if that makes sense, or is it a bad idea? Thanks!

The three most recommended trailer tires on all R/V forums are Goodyear Endurance, Maxxis M8008 and Carlisle HD in no particular order.

Maybe posting trailer type, Load range and trailer weights would be helpful. I suspect they 'might' last a long time on a lightweight rig.

Carlisle makes a fine tire I run them on my carry hauler that gets loaded to the max ofter with no problems like my TT tires I check the air pressure before use.
