So...I'm like a kid in a candy store trying to decide which upgrades to do to my 233s. However, I figured the most responsible upgrade was to replace the original tires that came on it. There was some minor cracking on one of the sidewalls and it concerned me. Also, they were 4 years old which starts to put them on my radar...I generally change out trailer tires between 4 and 6 years of age.
I live near Gadsden, Alabama and we have a Goodyear plant here that recently began producing a new trailer tire called the "Goodyear Endurance" (No..neither I nor any family members work for goodyear or any tire dealers). I purchased a set of these from our local dealer and, so far, they look and pull great. These are made in D and E ranges and are speed rated at "N",* so that means I'm no longer maxing out my maximum tire speed when I set the cruise control at 65. I also upgraded from a 205 to a 215 75 R14 D range.
Although I believe the MAIN safety factor is a careful driver, I fell much safer with these tires. It's also nice knowing their American Made. I'll update this post after the tires have some meaningful mileage on them.
