Your right! Everyone will share what they think is the best tire:) based on their own experiences! But that leaves you still trying to choose between 4 or more brands of tires????
I have personally used Good Year tires since I started RVing 20yrs ago. Not all my Good Year tires were that good on my then 32' trailer and now 34" 5th wheel. Specifically, the GY tires trailer mtgs. install on new RV's are the cheapest in order to save $$$. After blowing out about 4 or 5 tires and talking with the Good Year engineers back east, they recommended going to 16' rim and tire with an "e" or higher rated tire with at least 10 ply. After making these changes, I have had only a couple of tire problems I had to replace in the last 15 yrs.
When I bought my new 5th wheel (2012 Heartland), I asked the dealer to replace the Tow Master tires with Good Year "G" rated 12 ply tires as a condition of the sale. "no problem" and they changed the tries at the Heartland Mfg. Company. So far after 3 years no tire issues:)
My other reason for choosing Good Year tires is their replacement warranty policies. Every tire that I had a blow out or separation issues was replaced at no cost to me. I did have to bring the tire to a GY dealer who mailed the tire to the company.:):)
