If don't like tire issues get the ENDURANCE. Simply do an ENDURANCE tire failure search. I challenge you too find one that is not a road hazard failure.
One individual in this post used to say they were not on the market long enough. Well they have been out since early 2017. Now he won't mention them.
Let's look at reality. Your 14k GVWR 5er should have a MINIMUM of 15% pin. That leaves 11,900# on the four tires now split that by 4 that is 3,000#. The ENDURANCE 235/85 16 at 80psi is rated for 3,640#. The next size 255/85 16 is rated for 4,080. Both tires ratings are at 80psi. Another bonus is they are rated at 87mph.
So a little truth in lending with facts goes a long ways.
Here is some facts just for you.
Your brag about no issues with Endurance started when they came out in 2017 and as with any new tire it takes a few years to get a accurate idea how there going to work long term.
And like any new tire they've had a few issues showing up on NHTSA complaints website.
Here is one Endurance tire issue for your reading pleasure:
#1... IRV2
***You can think about getting Goodyear Endurance, but you won't be able to get them!
We have them on our fifth wheel, after 3 years we just put on our 2nd set. One brand new tire has a matching inside and outside bubble on sidewall. Sure they'll warranty it, they just can't get another tire, anywhere!!
Not the first time we've had tire problems, another one was replaced because it was wearing oval, out of round!!
Will be going in another direction when these wear out...

I've got more Endurance complaints from a couple of rv websites however its a moot point as any new tire it takes a few years for them to come out.
I would say and have said... no more complaints than is on the net the Endurance makes a good tire for most rv trailer owners.
The Endurance ST255/85-16 has a wide tread width and requires a 7" min wide wheel for best long term reliability. Not the best idea for 6"-6.5" wide wheels for a tire/wheel load carrying duties.
