I need new Tires

I blew a tire yesterday coming home from Branson. They were 5 years old and came on the camper when we bought it. Trailer King ST225-R15. THey look so new and great tread but I always assume cheap tires on the campers when you buy them and 3 to 5 years is shelf life.

what do we switch to?

LT Tires and American Made?

So... no links can be found on google dispelling claims of zero issues from either points pro or con.

I did a quick google search. but didn't find any posts, but maybe I am using key words that don't bring them up.

As someone who is interested from a technical point of view, I am asking for help. Please!! Post some links.


As said in my previous post I googled the Endurance ,and there was some reading to be had . Reports of lost tread , bubbles in the tread etc, and a few pictures . I googled Goodyear Endurance tire failures , and just telling what I read . If you want to read it google it same as I did, as was suggested by another on this thread, they apparently found the same reading I did. It was not difficult .

They probably felt the same way I do about links, if you really want to know ,go looking, google it . Some have made claims that there are only road hazard problems with the Endurance, the links I read suggest otherwise ,seems to be a few defective tires. All I can say is read it ,and come to your own conclusion, you are the tire expert . Maybe you can give some light on these reports on the Endurance .

If I remember correctly you gave a glowing report on Endurance awhile back , correct me if I am wrong .


So I googled "Endurance" and no tire related stuff in the first 10 pages.

I then googled "Goodyear Endurance", and 10 pages later, still didn't find any reported failures.

So - again - links please.

One person makes a claim about their brand tires with no proof of that claim. ...but wants other folks to back up their claims.
'course we could make claims like that about any product. Mine was always the best....till I googled it

Plain and simple. GY ENDURANCE has ZERO reported failures being on the market for over 3 years now.

Simply choose your size and load range n get er dun. One you have done so maintain proper tire pressure and don't look back!

OH yea if YA care they are US Made!


I suggest you take a quick look with Google. There are several failures listed


Some interesting reading. A lot of tread separations , some damage ,several with bubbles in the tread . Hard to say whether defects or road hazard , but the Endurance seems to be getting plenty of press . As been said before the ratings on their Eโ€™โ€™s are pretty liberal , I suspect they are not up to their weight ratings . Iโ€™m sure on lighter applications they will perform okay , heavier fifth wheels , there are much better choices .

Thanks. It would be nice to give details when mentioning an issue.

Would be nice to know the date code.



What also would be nice if we knew why another Goodyear tire blew ,and what damage if any it did to another fifth wheel.

Was it determined it was another faulty Goodyear tire ? Goodyear usually will not reimburse road hazard failures. Did you replace them with another set of Goodyears .

Not arguing that, the post was talking about Endurance which doesn't come in 17.5" size.
Yes I was running GY G114s until one exploded, approx 4 1/2 years old. Plan was to replace prior to the 5 year mark, but didn't make it.


What date code? Did you have GY determine cause?
