Goodyear Endurance Tires

I know I have read countless tire discussions on here but of course, now I can't find it through search. Our question: has anybody put Goodyear Endurance tires on their 5er?
  • They are too new to get much feed back yet. They seem to be a similar design to a couple other newer style ST tires, that run cooler, with higher speed ratings that get good reviews. Hope the GYs work out well, only time will tell.

  • I just put 2 of them on my Ranger bass boat today. They certainly look better than the Carlisle's that came with it, which means nothing, I know. They are load range D, the Carlisle's were C. One thing I did notice is there was a lot less flexing on the few mile trip home after having them installed. The boat trailer seemed to ride smoother with a lot less bounce. I could see the Carlisle's squish with the bumps but that didn't happen with the GY's. Yes, they were properly inflated.
  • Hope they have fixed their problem. Glad they have redeisign their tire and are making it in ths USA now. Only time will tell. Just put set on my fifth wheel.
  • Bumping this up to the top, as I am getting ready to put them on my boat trailer. Would love some real world feedback, as the tires are significantly more expensive than other ST tires, even more than the Marathon (which I have had terrible luck with).

    Higher speed rating and more weight capacity are the selling point. Pulling the trigger either tomorrow or Wednesday unless I hear something negative.
  • Nope only use Sailuns on our 5'er, never had a problem and they are on their 3rd year. Good Luck and Happy Camping !!!

    As I previously stated, put them on my Ranger bass boat with a single axle last week. Since then I did about a 30 mile trip to a local lake. The last 5 miles of the trip is on a secondary road that is in terrible shape. An oil and chat overlay is peeling off over much of it and pot holes are numerous. I watched the tires closely and saw no flexing and the bouncing is gone. The Carlisle's had a lot of flex and I was always afraid one would blow. Time will tell but my initial impression is they are exactly what I needed and wanted. I got mine for $114 each.
  • I just order 4 of these Goodyear Endurance to put on our new-to-us 5th wheel toy hauler. It currently has Marathon all around of various manufacturing years, but all between 5 and 8 years old. Given my luck with trailer tires I figured I go ahead and replace all them.

    I found them on tire rack at $125 each which came out to $558 shipped. I've been installing them myself in the past, but this time around I'll be lazy and drop them of Costco.

    I was looking for reviews but obviously being released in 2017 there isn't much out there...
  • Well, I will give my review.

    I put them on my 6500ish pound boat. Boat and trailer are a 2014. It had no-name tires on before the change.

    Before the new tires, the boat towed fine behind my DRW. But with my 2011 Yukon Denali XL, it was much less pleasant. It had very bad trailer sway anywhere above 65 MPH. So much so, it would move the Yukon.

    We just got back from a trip just short of 1000 miles. Night and day difference in towing. Even at 75 MPH, there was no trailer sway. A couple times, when passing, I went above 80 MPH. Still very stable.

    For me, the tires were worth the price. Hopefully they hold up.
