Goodyear Endurance
. Thanks, I checked Amazon and they are only $67 each with free delivery and free returns. That seems really cheap.Originally Posted by Javman389

Don't think that is a ST trailer tire with a speed rating.
I just got new tires for my trailer. Asked the tire rep and he said that typically the cheaper tires are rated for 75MPH or less. That's why you hear about the failure rate for those type of tires. I opted to go with the Goodyear Endurance tires even though they were almost $300 more. I was amazed when I picked up my tires(I took the tires off the trailer) the Endurance tires were considerably heavier than the original tires. The rep said the Goodyears have heavier sidewalls and a higher speed rating. They were so heavy I had trouble lifting them onto the lug bolts.
Your lucky they lasted that long without having tread separation. Chinese tires are known for that. Put the US made Goodyear Endurance on it. They will save your boat fenders.
Before I bought the Carlisle tires I had Goodyear Marathon on the trailer and it separated and tore up my fender pretty good. I assume Marathons are made in China based on your comment.
THANK YOU SIR! I was also skeptical when you posted the price and as I am also needing tires I checked it out. Seems like both Amazon and Walmart have that size for the price you stated. Yes, I have 5 on order! Was hoping to also get a set for the big utility trailer, but seems this pricing is only for the 205-75-14 size? Regarding the GY Marathons...the original Marathons (RWL) were not made in China, but GY then switched production of that tire to China. I am replacing a set of RWL Marathons just because of age. Thanks again for the pricing alert!
The original good marathons were made in canada. Ive had the endurance on 2 trailers now and theyre the only choice for me. Matter of fact i took my new boat to the tire store on the way home from the dealership to get endurance installed before i even brought it home

Endurance - when you see them 'in person', you will know what we are talking about.

. Did you get them in? I am ordering a set if they are indeed Goodyear Endurance that everybody raves about.
I didand was just about to post asking if you had ordered a set? I am very pleased with my purchase. Like I had said, I was skeptical at that price, but everything I see is the real deal! I usually try to buy local, but at that price I went with off line. I checked yesterday and the price has gone to $85 both Amazon and Walmart, but still a very good price. I purchased from Walmart and 4 tires were manufactured 2819 and 1 was 2019. Not hot off the grill, but well less than a year old. Not sure what the deal was, but it was that size only at that price. Wish I could get a set of 15" for close to that price! Order quick and thanks again for the heads-up on the price.

The ones I see aren't st's.

Michelin Defenders. Great tires

I dont run trailer tires i run car tires rated for my trailers weight. Easiest way to get good usa made tires and they wear and ride better. Had that on the old boat and loved it already swapped on the new boat. 15" wheels and cooper tires.

The Amazon posting threw me a little. Check the product code number on Amazon compared to GY site and same number. Just did a chat wit GY and all Endurance tires are ST rated. I also asked GY if they had any idea why the very low price being offered by resellers and they mentioned doing a price match. If I had not already received the tires I would have definitely pursued that offer - direct from GY would eliminate any questions.
