I've had the worst luck with boat trailer tires over the years and always make sure tire pressure is good and tires appear in good shape.

Had 5 tires including spare with 4 different name.brands cause I was always having blowouts while on the road.

Finally just purchased 5 Goodyear Endurances. I hope they live up to the hype.

I learned after having blow outs ( last blow out was at 5am 3 mi. from the lake, ever change a trailer flat at 5am ? ) on several different brands of tires about ratings on trailer tires and I'll pass this info on to you free of charge. First you have to understand there are no shocks on most boat trailers so the tires take all the beating. All trailer tires up until recently were made in China and I promise you the Chinese could care less about you having a blow out on the way to the lake. Trailer tires have a speed rating, a load index, a max load rating, a load range and a max inflation pressure. Compare the Marathon tire or most trailer tires to the Endurance tire. Here are the ratings for Endurance:

Speed rating - N
Load index -108
Max load rating - 2200 lbs.
Load range - D
Max inflation pressure- 65
They also have a 87 mph rating where most are rated for 65 mph.
Check these ratings against any other tire on the market and you'll see why folks in the know recommend them. Folks in the know being folks like me who have changed a trailer tire on the side of the road at 5am.
Just trying to help. thumb

ps: Spigsss makes a good point, tire pressure or lack of it has caused more tire failures than anything else.

Keep'em aired up and you'll be fine. If you compare the Endurance tire to say a Marathon or Carlisle tire, size for size you'll see the difference not only in the ratings but also in the construction. My trailer tires are
215-75-R14. I paid $124 per tire at Discount mounted and tax included. AND THEY ARE MADE IN AMERICA, Gadsden, AL. to be specific.

Check out Maxxis - they have some very highly rated tires available that the guys that tow third wheel units seem to love. I have been running them for 3 years now with no issues.

I dont think the new endurance tires have been around long enough for a definitive answer. I do know Goodyears track record with trailer tires isnt great.
We will see.

Valid point, only been out for little over a year but so far no reports of tire failure. The Goodyear Marathon tire which in manufactured in China does have a checkered past but trailer tires in general take a lot of abuse.

My Goodyear Endurance Tires are a little more than one year old. So far theyve been great.

I bought a set of the Maxxis 8008 tires last year. I put lots of miles on a trailer. I have been very pleased so far.

No offense, junk tire.

About the only thing 'Merican made anymore for a trailer tire is the Goodyear Endurance. 14ply, 80 psi and rated for 87mph.

I am a rubber chemist. Been doing this a long time. The Asians took over the trailer tire market long ago. Maybe the tarrifs will even everything back out?

For now, go with Goodyear Enduarance.
