    I called Bullet and they use Trailer King's on all the new trailers. Just fyi in case you want to check those out. I believe Walmart sells them too.

    Goodyear Endurance are made here in the US. They have a thicker sidewall than most and a higher speed rating. They are a little pricier though

    I have the new Goodyear on my boat trailer and love them. I run 42 psi and they track and feel great. I paid 376 for all 4 but I get Goodyear employees price.

    I haven’t tried the Endurance. A buddy of mine owns a tire shop and put me the Towmax STR2. He’s sold several with no complaints. They seem to be a nice tire so far with no issues and they are made in the US. I believe in Florida. Only had them a year, so we’ll see.

    Tow Max, Trailer Kings and Marathons are all Chinese will pops. I monitor RV forums, and you wouldn't believe the tire separations reported.

    I have not heard anything bad about Goodyear's Endurance tire. The Maxxis M8008s ars also good tires.

    Sounds like a great deal... What size did you get? 205 or 215?

    Good lookin tire. I may have to try a set next change out. I know a lot of guys that don’t balance the trailer tires, but I always have and always will.
