I was going to trade in my old 2007 Everest fifth wheel but found that my SRW F350 isn't capable of towing the trailer we really want, so I'll be buying new tires for the old 5'r to get a little more use out of it till I eventually upgrade my TV.So, being that the XPS ribs on the trailer now are over 10 years old (still in good appearance) I should replace the tires on the trailer before hitting the road. I haven't been keeping up on which tires are most reliable these days so I'm reaching out for suggestions or what to avoid and recommendations on what tires to purchase. I'd go with the XPS ribs again, as they've been very good and reliable tires, but I'd hate to invest that kind of money into a trailer that will likely be traded in within a year, so I'm thinking I should go with a more affordable ST this time, but still want the most reliable ST tire available.Thanks in advance for any tire suggestions. We're planning a lengthily road trip in a couple of weeks so I will need to get some tires ordered up for the trailer right as soon as I can.

I did a write up on my recent search and purchase.It's a few pages back.Carlisle CSL 16 is what you want.

I would look into the Sailuns S637's, I replaced my GY tires with them.Many positive reviews. I personaly had no problems and replace with the same when the time comes. Much more cost effective also.Rich,

Thanks folks, for your input.GaryP, I do like the idea of "made in USA", hmm. Are the goodyears known for reliability?

Are the goodyears known for reliability?There are simply no non road hazard blowouts on the ENDURANCE line of tires. Only complaint is from the people that don't like GY and will say the tread is too thin @ 8/32". I have a set on my Boat Trailer that are dated Summer 2017. They have plenty of tread left at around 20,000 miles towing all Summer long at 70.

I buy USA tires if possible and never from a communist country.

"Endurance get good reviews but you might not find them readily available"

I have heard this too many times. I have even called my Discount Tire Manager and he said not a problem getting them.

quality will go to a commercial grade all steel ply carcass tire like the XPS Ribs or the R238 over any ST C/D/E tire poly carcass tire.
Apples vs pickles.

Not good tires for a trailer savvy why anyone would use a a S637 Sailun load G/110 psi for that size trailer.
Kinda like recommending the 16 " load E XPS Ribs for replacing a 14" ST load C tire like we see on rv forums.

I have Goodyear LT E rated tires on 2 trailers and have been very happy with the performance, wear, etc on both. Will be replacing the tires on one trailer this year due to age. I will resell them on craigslist since they are a great LT tire and someone with an old truck can get a great tire for low money - recoup some of the cost of new tires.

To the OP - tires can look totally fine but after about 6 years you are taking chances. Best to replace.
