What's your experience with American manufacturers trailer tires. Asking because it is time to replace my 2014 Westlake 225 8 ply tires. The Goodyear Endurance is a 10 ply and about all I am finding. 5000 dual axle inTech aluminum enclosed 26 foot car trailer for race car use. Not long hauls or overloaded. Locals want $900 installed out the door. Chinese Carlisle's are $500.

Any comments?

I put a set of the Endurance 225/75/15 on my 28ft ATC last year to replace the Taiwan made12ply Hercules as they were way to stiff and it would shake everything in the trailer around. The Goodyear balanced good and seem to track well. I did have one that got a bulge in the sidewall after about 1000 miles and Discount Tire replaced it for about $75.

I have had the Carlisle Radial Trail HD's on my trailer for 2 full summers, and they have been excellent at about the 5000 mile mark. 235/80-16's. The trailer is about 12K loaded. They were $900 out the door installed. No complaints here.

I work at a City and we use the Goodyear Endurance on all of our trailers and they hold up great so far. But all low speed and relatively light loads. Previously we used the Goodyear Marathons and they were not a very good tire. The sidewalls are far more rigid on the Endurance.

On my personal 24' enclosed trailer it currently has the tires it came with which are pretty sketchy looking tires. I purchased the Hercules 901 which many people seem to use successfully but they are an import. I plan on getting them mounted up this year.

I had the original chinese no names on my 2018 EzHauler enclosed. 20,000 miles on the trailer and drivers rear inside was scrubbed pretty good. I figured 20k was a good life, kept 2 and sold them on market place. I went with Goodyear endurance to replace them and so far they have been good. I'll be pulling it out of storage soon to prep it for this years long haul.

Put them on my last travel trailer and they worked well The new last year 2022 Arctic Fox travel trailer also came with the GY Endurance from the factory.
