OP here......Wow.....I should have checked back sooner.

I will add a little bit of information here. Yes my 5'r came with load range "D" tires. Factory rims and tires are 6 lug wheels rated at 80psi and ST225/75R15 tires. My trailer currently rides out of level pretty bad. It is about 6" difference from front to back. I recently had a blowout on my rear tire and had to purchase a tire on the trip. I am going to be upgrading to a 16'' wheel and tire to gain height. If I go with the 235/85R16 I will gain around 1.75' of height. I have found wheels that will fit my trailer and are rated for 110psi. Did the tire blowout from too much weight being on the rear tires? Yes I am quite sure of it. Does a load range "E" tire add up to cover the max weight of my trailer? Yes it does. But why not go higher? I had no intentions of going to a load range "G" tire as some are suggesting, but......I am not against it. I really would like an all steel tire but I have not been able to find one in that size at load range "F". Also in my consideration is price. Why not buy an all steel higher load range tire for the same price as a Goodyear Endurance load range "E" tire. I am not a full timer but a frequent weekend warrior. You guys are way smarter at this than me and most of you have thousands and thousands miles more than me pulling a trailer. That is why I am here asking questions. Maybe I don't know what I am talking about or overthinking it. I am reading everyone's reply and have read almost every thread I could find on tires and heck...……..I still cant decide what to do. Thanks!!!

:S

Why not fix what I see as the root cause get your trailer as close to level as possible. Then worry about tires, I am sure you are putting a lot of extra weight on that rear axle. The equalizer can only compensate for so much out of level.

Did you read my post before you commented????? I AM fixing part of the issue of being out of level by adding 16” rims and taller tires. After mounting the tires I will re-evaluate and see if a subframe is needed.

I saw that tires will only gain you half the difference in diameter of the two tires, I have posted several time a method and math to calculate how much you need
To raise the trailer at the tires, but I am on my. phone and it is time to walk the dog, maybe later when the computer is out.

This is not rocket science here , tires are going to give him just over an inch and a half . Anything else to level will be lowering the truck , adjustment at pin box or hitch . After that a subframe .

A subframe still may be needed. But........there can’t be any harm in going to a 16” rim and taller tire as long as it fits. Way more options for tires in 16” rim. If I go the 235/85R16 it will be roughly 1.75” taller than what I have right now. I drove on 2” blocks this past weekend and it changed from 6” difference to 2.5” difference.

Sorry ZERO non road hazard issues in over 3.5 years on the market DOES get the STELLAR rating!

I just removed a set of ST Sailuns that were 8 years old with no issues.
I replaced them with a new set of Sailuns I figure I'm good for another 8 years.
It takes 8 years to get the stellar rating, 3.5 years is not long enough!;):B

I believe that would qualify as STELLAR. Those thin treaded Endurance that wear out in 20k miles , reports of blowouts is far from STELLAR. They can’t meet the weight ratings of most fifth wheels , especially with the new RIVA reserve requirements.

The Goodyear Endurance needs to be left out of the conversation when it comes to fifth wheels ,other then the very light fifth wheels being used by the weekend warriors.

At 80 psi what is the rating of Sailuns vs Endurance?

Both are 3640. And looks like Endurance can go to 110 psi and 4400.

No the ENDURANCE nis 80 PSI on all "E" tires. Their chart shows a couple psi numbers that would apply to their "G" tire.

If he is going to run 80 psi I would just get the Endurance.

You just don't understand! Them GY's have ZERO issues in 3.5 years just isn't good enough!
