    Leon, it certainly is great that you believe that the Endurance tire is so perfect. My belief is that they are a good tire, but not quite the Superman you are describing. When you hit that bad chuckhole or piece of leaf spring in the road, they will be done. Maybe not as quickly as some other tires, but still done! And when you state they are exceeding the requirements of any trailer manufacturer, I am not impressed, because Westlakes and other globally sourced brands meet or exceed those requirements also. Maintenance is still critical on Goodyears also, because if they are run low on air pressure or subject to misalignment, they will blow out or wear unevenly. I do remember that Goodyear had a G series truck/RV tire that was misapplied and had a high failure rate that instigated a lawsuit. But maybe this company has compensated you well to present these "facts". Take care!

    Huh, makes me wonder if this is the forum for me if we get this from the 4 star site sponsor. "maybe this company has compensated you well to present these "facts". Do have some proof of this accusation? Well I have wasted 12 bucks on less.

    Clay - I don't see an "accusation" that needs proof. I see a perspective that is every bit as valid as the one that thinks Endurance tires are the best trailer tires ever made. This forum is built on allowing members to express their different opinions.

    Clay, please don't evaluate the worth of this forum based on my response to a gentleman who is highly enthused about a certain product. The point I am making is that it is not totally indestructible and subject to the conditions encountered on our awesome highway system, as well as the care it receives. I was attempting to be humorous with the company support assertion, I apologize for missing the mark.

    Got it, as long as I say "maybe" I can say what I like. <Text deleted by Moderator Howard.> Am I right in my thinking, just making sure.

    Any tire can be damaged but time will tell if the Endurance tires start throwing off their treads. I dumped my Westlakes and am glad I did.

    Sorry I made a big deal of it. Just so happened I just got 5 GY Endurance and bearings installed, I was sitting writing a post with some nice pics of it all when I read this. It made me stop because I would hate to have my integrity questioned because I like my new tires. Nothing more from me on this subject.

    Steve Gravelle - my post was completely in jest. It was so over the top I thought it was obvious and didn't put a disclaimer in there. Not paid by Goodyear or anyone else, no interest in any company.
