So glad this worked out for you. I also replaced the CastleBombs on my Rockwood with the GY Endurance shortly after I purchased it four years ago. I also upgraded to the metal stems, as that is a must with these wheels. What a difference in towing when I got rid of the CastleBombs!!

For those of you looking for GY Endurance tires, be sure to check the Goodyear website. I just purchased a set of Endurance tires for my Mom's trailer through their website and they have a service where they will bring the tires to you and do the install onsite. The tech showed up in a very nice van, had all the equipment necessary to properly jack the trailer, and did a very nice job (under my continuous supervision :-). Goodyear's onsite install cost was actually cheaper than what I would have paid at my local tire shop. I have provided a link so you can check if the onsite install service is available in your area.

We have Castle Rock tires with Nitro fill Air which we have to take every year to get topped off from Air loss during winter.
Any opinion on these tires and how long do they last ? Years VS Miles

I think many, if not most of us consider them as "China Bombs". I personally remove the Chinese tires and put proper tires on the trailer we buy. Our present trailer is running Goodyear Endurance Trailer tires (Made in USA) and there are other good tires out there. I would avoid those low end Chinese tires when possible. Also, my originals were Load Range C so when I ordered the Goodyear tires I stepped up to Load Range D and a slightly fatter tire. I believe Nitro is a waste of money. A good Tire monitoring system will save you money down the road. Just my opinion.

I thought that wheels were only load rated. Didn't know they are air pressure rated as well.

How do I determine the maximum allowable air pressure for my 2109s wheels?

Thanks!

I think you are in 14" rims. Changing to a higher load rated tire is often difficult in 14s Let your trusted, reputable tire shop advise you. A one load range increase will not affect the rim. Air pressure you run for your unit will not be higher than the 60-65psi specified for your Load Range D for your originals.


When you get into BIG 5th wheels and you install super or truck tires.....there may be a factor there.

This has been answered on here a number of times... While painted steel 14 and 15 inch rims will not hold 200#, they will hold to 110# cold pressure which is load range E rated tires... aluminum rims and larger sized like 16 inch rims usually have higher ratings. Some answers can be found on etrailer dot com and FR gets their rims from Lionshead that can be found on the web.

The biggest limiting factor is the rubber stems on most rims... they need to be replaced with metal stems for the higher pressure rating tires.
