    That's fine on a tandem trailer.... Not a single axle.

    Glad someone is getting decent wear out of the Endurance tires.
    About three years with the miles I put on them.
    Next set will be LT or car tires.

    How many miles have you got on them? Most tandem axle trailers have major alignment issues and a few single axles I have had. With a good alignment I can get 50k out of trailer tires. It's sad you can't hardly find anyone to bend axles anymore to fix alignment but it is easy with a frame machine. CJ

    Tandem tires wear much faster than single axle regardless. The scrubbing action of the two tires binding against each other in every turn wears tires.

    There's a reason trailer tires don't carry a wear rating like other tires.

    How Long Do Trailer Tires Last?

    Trailer tires should last for between 5,000 and 12,000 miles or about 8,000 to 19,000 km. Other than the mileage, you can look at how long you’ve been using them to determine when a replacement is due. If you opt to track it this way, you should change them every 3 to 6 years depending on how often and how intensely you use them.

    I have a tandem axle trailer and reasonably light setup. I will go 215/75r14 cars tires when replacement time comes.

    Michael is right only use auto tires on tandem trailers never on a single axle. I would run D-rated tires on a single axle regardless of what boat sat on it.

    Who even needs to tow at high speeds? 65 mph is good enough to have a reaction time to make decisions in an emergency due to today's idiotic drivers, now with that said Goodyear Endurance is what I run and will continue to run until something better comes along.

    Have to disagree !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    As an old retired first responder ----IMO someone driving 10 MPH under the posted speed limit is an accident waiting for an opportunity.

    I run the Goodyear Endurance on my single axle trailer best tire I ever had in my opinion and it tracks and rides much better overall. They are wearing good and would recommend to anyone with a single axle trailer

    I shredded a tire on my RT188 trailer yesterday so am shopping for a new pair. I am not very knowledgeable of trailer tires but have been reading the post on this forum. I have learned that I should go to a load range D and that most prefer the Goodyear Endurance.
    I cannot find a Goodyear Endurance in a ST175/80 R13 even Tire Rack does not have it. Tire Rack does show a Towmax Vanguard in load range D. Do you guys know this brand? Are you buying the Goodyear endurance in 13 inch wheel size?

    I replaced my original tires with the Carlisle trail HD and couldn’t be happier. I have over 5k miles on them and no signs of wearing.
