Goodyear Endurance tires

Ok, so I'll be the guinea pig on the new Goodyear Endurance tires. I have a 2014 Vegenance touring edition fifth wheel, which we've towed about 10,000 miles on the original China tires. This is a triple axel 5er max gross 21,000 lb., but we are at about 19,000 loaded. We're getting ready to start our summer travels, and I felt that it was time for new shoes, even though we've never had any tire problems. The local Goodyear dealer installed the Endurance tires today. ST 235/80-16. Interesting to note that the wheels are stamped as 3250 lb load, which is less than the tires. So, next tire change, I'll be in for new wheels, and a higher load rated tire.
We'll be doing about 7500-8500 miles this year, so I'll post here if we have any problems. BTW 150$/tire.

I don't think the number 1 tire builder in the world needs a "guinea pig"?

They will definitely be my next set of tires. Will probably have them put on this summer or late fall.

Airedale, Im sure they don't, just haven't read of anyone else here putting them on yet, but did read many who said they didn't want to be first.
I'm all done here, thanks.

Just put a set of Hercules on my trailer last summer, but very interested in how these pan out over the next few years.

Ordered a set of 4 Goodyear Endurance ST235/80R16 load range E. Having them installed today. One thing I noticed is that the tread depth is not as deep as China tires. Even the tire rubber composite seems to be different. I guess we will see how they will last on the 5th wheel toy hauler. Heading to the Gulf in a week.

Just put 4 on my 26RR toyhauler. Glad to get the originals off and move to a quality tire. I moved from the original 205/75R14 C to 205/75R15 D on new rims. More piece of mind and trust in the good years.

I ordered 6 new Goodyear Endurance 255/85/16 from Discount Tire. I was going to go with G614's like I have on my boat trailer. The Endurance in this size have the same weight rating as the G614 but at 80 psi. Also the are almost 1/2 the cost.

new tires

Just purchased a 2017 Sanibel 3601 5er. It has Goodyear tires on it. Not sure if they are endurance or not. How long should they last?
