New tires
Can anyone recommend a great set of new tires for my FR 2018 grey wolf 23mk? Been traveling on original tires and ready to replace. Heading from Ohio to Albuquerque for balloon festival nxt month. Having a hard time finding good replacements. Certainly don't want China bombs. Thanks

Go with the GY's and stay away from Chinese crap. Hankook also makes a good trailer tire. I put new GY's on my RV and Hankooks on my car hauler. Even increased the size and load range on my car hauler. 205's to 225's. I bet I'm really in trouble for that imrpovement.

Put the "D" rated Carlisle Radial Trail HD's on our trailer. A lot cheaper than Goodyear and great tires.

Not the Endurance line.

Marathon's were but even Goodyear realized they turned to junk when made in China.

What in the world is Hankook Duarvan? Do you mean Hankook Vantra? Maybe your auto correct did that for you, I was just wondering what the “Duarvan” line was.
Anyway, the Vantra’s are very nice tires..

If you cant find the GY Endurance, get the new Hankooks. They are great too. Dont waste your money on Carisle.
