Oh please tell us why “ENDURANCE will never be on my list”
What weight is on your two axles?
Big reason is I won't run an E rated tire on my fifth wheel , only G rated . That right there leaves out the Endurance .
I know what you are getting at on my axle weights ,no doubt the weight ratings of the one highest E rated Endurance falls within my weight rating . My fifth wheel came new with G rated ST235/80/16's @ 4080 @ 110 psi. Thats also what is printed on the weight placard on the left front side of the fifth wheel .
I have since went with the Sailuns ST235/85/16 G rated @ 4400 @ 110 psi., biggest reason, not so much for the weight rating as added height . Not much ,but every bit helps with these taller trucks ,and getting a bit more level .
I run the Sailuns @ 100 psi , according to inflation chart from Sailun that gives me the 4080 lbs on weight rating .
As said in a previous post ,those new Hankook H31's look very promising in a G rated RV tire in both the 235/80/16 @ 4080 @ 110 psi ,and the 235/85/16 @ 4400 @ 110 psi. Could be the tire of the future considering what is going on with the Sailuns ,and their issues , which is disappointing . They have been for several years second to none in quality ,and reliability .
