I’ve heard mostly Michelins. There were several discussions back in the winter. Don’t recall a specific time just now, but when I get a chance I’ll try to do a search for you.

Michelin Defender is what some are using. I went with the General Altimax that Ranger used before the Kenetica. I'll be towing to Minnesota next week from Oklahoma so I'll let you know! Also Tailhooker, I need to call you and discuss the axle. I forgot about the email you sent until I saw your handle on this post.

This is what I replaced those junk Kendas with:

Ride and stability is exceptional. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

I have the general Altimax’s that came on my boat new since 2015, zero problems so far, been very good tires.

I wonder if Michelin will warranty them since they are not a trailer tire? I know a previous poster sent a question to General Tire regarding the tires that he had on his Ranger. His response from them which he posted stated that General noticed the General tires that he had on his trailer were passenger tires and they did not recommend them to be run on a boat trailer. Even though they sold them to Ranger to install on their 17 inch rims. So what's up with that.
no goodyear endurance fans here?
There isn’t an Endurance tire for a 17” rim.
